Below is How To Stream Rugby In South Africa

The easiest way to watch Rugby online in HD in South Africa without DSTV is to sign up to Stan Sports.

This is an Australian paid streaming service but they stream South African club rugby as well as international rugby tests and other international club rugby too. They also stream British and Irish Lions games for 2021.

It costs around $25 (Aussie) per month which is about R250 per month.

They offer a 30-day free trial.

Other options are ITV or ESPN+. ITV is free and they stream some live rugby like the Six Nations and a few others. ESPN+ is a good option to watch the Championship rugby online.

ESPN+ only costs $4.99 a month and all the Super Rugby matches, Guinness PRO14, and rugby tests are available to stream in HD plus a lot more sport. They aren’t streaming the Currie Cup rugby or British and Irish Lions tour though.

All these services are blocked if you try to access them from South Africa so we need to get around that first.

Here are the 3 simple steps you’ll need to follow:

Step 1 – Sign up for a free trial with Smart DNS Proxy

Step 2 – Change the DNS settings in your router (see below)

Step 3 – Sign up to Stan Sports, ESPN+, or ITV

Smart DNS Proxy

So because these websites are not available in South Africa we’ll need to make it look like we’re accessing their website from their respective countries.

The setup process is pretty straightforward and we’ve covered it in detail

Once you’ve got your Smart DNS working you’ll be able to stream rugby online from international sites.
