Six Nations 2019 live stream: how to watch rugby union online from anywhere

We absolutely love it when the Six Nations goes down to the last weekend of action - so you can imagine how excited we are that there are still three teams in the hat that can still win the 2019 tournament. And with this guide, we'll tell you how to watch all the final round of rugby from the comfort of your home, or anywhere else you can get an internet connection for that matter - live stream Six Nations 2019 rugby from anywhere.

Wales lead the table and are shooting for a Grand Slam, but England and Ireland are still in the hunt to win this year's rugby union title. In a World Cup year, it feels like gaining momentum with a tournament win now is just what these countries need.

Wales must now be hot favourites to win the Grand Slam in 2019. They dispatched England in round 3 with class and Scotland after that, extending their record breaking winning streak to 13 consecutive games. After beating Ireland and thumping France, England were looking like a force to be reckoned with again and they will still be determined to win the 2019 Six Nations title when all is said and done.

The Irish were odds-on favourites to take the 2019 Six Nations title before the opening weekend, but can no longer make it two Grand Slams in a row. The famous victory that captain Rory Best's men recorded over the All Blacks in November now looks like a long time ago, and even getting past Italy felt like a struggle last time out.

Scotland will feel like this year's tournament has been a missed opportunity, especially after falling to a disappointing defeat in Paris. France and Italy had 2018s to forget and have a lot of improvements to make should they wish to challenge either here or in Japan.

If you're outside your country of residence - whether that be the UK or anywhere else - and try to start streaming the rugby via your native broadcaster, you'll soon discover that you can't as it is location restricted. But there's a way you can watch anyway. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home.
