Express gets good write ups as does Nord.

Not that I recommend doing it wink wink

Surf shark is a good one too, though both that RB suggested are decent.

Hotspot Shield is pretty much the best one if you want it free, but even that struggles on streaming.

I'd suggest though if you wanted to stream go for one of Nord, Express or Surfshark and see if they offer a free trial to at least start with.

There’s a link on the Sale fans forum to a Russian site that apparently streams the game without a vpn or sign up it would appear.

Please note I have never used this site so know nothing about it and whether it works or not. Just passing on the info..

Sad indictment of the world we live in whereby I have to buy a vpn and subscription to an Australian tv service to watch a game played in my home country. Intrigued to see how it is the service seems very good! How have they got it so wrong in the UK?

Also who their right mind chooses Exeter v Irish over Leicester v Sale or even Harlequins v Bath…

I use Surfshark. I got a two year subscription for something like £40. I used to travel a lot for work so was worth paying for it but I accept it wont be for others just watching the rugby!

I used it and the quality was good. However, it was free and Russian so now I'm worried about the payback. Waiting to see if I've been hacked.

I believe that is was the clubs who didn’t want all the games on live, to keep the numbers up in the stadiums. Same in football.
I would have agreed with you re the Exeter game, how wrong I was!

I find the Stan feed of Prem games good (though I am watching it from Australia!) though it does get annoying at times when the commentary audio gets muted sometimes as clearly they haven't purchased the rights to the full feed, plus halftime is a bit weird.
Tonight they had crowd announcement (covid-safe big boot!) but just crowd vision, and then cut to dozens of snippets of the same random incident back-to-back as if someone was reviewing every possible camera angle of them for a post-game highlights reel.

Still, for $20/month I'm not going to grumble, especially as their back catalogue of included matches is also very impressive.

A bit more expensive than most, but for me Express is brilliant and well worth the money
