Women’s Rugby World Cup live stream: How to watch

The best women’s teams in the world are at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand and don’t miss out on any of the action from 8th October to 12th November 2022.

Each weekend, the pool stages feature six games before the tournament progresses to quarterfinals, semifinals and the final.

Who will lift the trophy at Eden Park in six weeks? England are favourites, but hosts – and five-time champions – New Zealand cannot be ruled out, while France and Canada are also in the mix. Plus, the race for the last eight of the pool stages should also be intriguing.
