And how can we in Japan watch the game(s)?

Well it is almost over now but all the games have been live on J sports 1 or 2. I believe the final will be on J sports 1 at 5:00 pm on Sunday.

More rugby fans in aussie watching than in NZ , and some one was telling me the game isnt popular in aussie.

Maybe it isnt but still more people in aussie watch follow or play this game than do in NZ.

you put on a watch the grass grow contest and call it a World Cup and 8 million Aussies will watch it...big difference between 'watch' and 'follow'..

I believe the Hub pubs will be showing the games and also legends in roppongi and the hobgoblin pubs, there is bound to be a few other places aorund too.

Hobgoblin in Roppongi is booked out for the final on sunday I believe.

ExportExpert - Ummm, we do have 24 million people in Aus, 6 times the population of NZ! Rugby is popular once every 4 years when the Wallabies play the big ones in the World Cup. Other times, Rugby just doesn't rate in comparison to AFL and NRL. NZ is the only truly Rugby-crazy nation - and the fact almost 50 percent of the population watched the game on TV is mind-boggling! Rugby is our Number 4 footy code in Australia, so they do alright to stay at or near the top of the world.
