Independent.ie is to stream live the CityJet Rugby World Cup Live series of events which will be broadcast from the RDS in front an audience of 300 people when the RWC gets underway next month. The series is being run as a fundraiser for the the Haiti charity Haven headed up by Independent News & Media (INM) chairman Leslie Buckley.
The series will reunite RTE rugby analysts George Hook (above), Brent Pope, Tom McGurk and Conor O’Shea. RTE lost out on the bidding rights to screen live coverage of the RWC to TV3. Rachel Wyse, who fronts Sky Sports’ GAA coverage, will chair the panel. A number of special guests have been lined up, including Apres Match star Risteard Cooper.
