Our World Cup chances may be looking a little shaky after the run of defeats we’ve had in recent weeks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t put on a good show of support. Unfortunately, New Zealand may be a little too far to go for a few matches, so most of us will have to watch it from the comfort of the sofa. And since it’s 2011, of course there’s an app for it: the official Rugby World Cup 2011 app. This freebie will allow you to keep up to date with all the latest news, fixtures, results and video clips. The “match centre” gives you live commentary, and you can also access the full list of fixtures, plus a history of when the two teams met last, and what the score was. You can also keep up to date with who has made it out of the pool stages. And it’s also the perfect companion to help you bluff your way through the next few weeks if you know next to nothing about rugby.
