As is with sports events, they are now more often subject to regional broadcast blockage whether you watch digital TV or via live streaming. This is the reason why using a VPN can really help get around these blockages, in both cases.

How to Watch The 2021 European Rugby Weekend With a VPN
For the 2021 European Rugby Finals, high-quality free streams were unavailable (with one possible exception in the note in the next section), however, we found that the simplest way to catch the action in high-quality is to sign up with EPCRugby.tv’s ‘Finals Weekend Pass‘ to access both games on Friday and Saturday. The Finals Weekend Pass also offers a ‘discounted’ package price of 19.99 EUR (payment can be made via card or PayPal). A VPN can help you subscribe to EPCRugby and watch the games if you are out of the region, which otherwise would not be possible. A VPN does this by cloaking your device’s IP address, and then placing it in a location that you desire making it seem that you are located there (thereby tricking the regional blocks). Let’s look at how to do this in several ways in the next sections.
Step-by-Step Guide to Watch The 2021 European Rugby Weekend Via Live Stream With a VPN
You are going to need a VPN if you are outside of the UK and want to catch the 2021 Rugby Weekend via the EPCRugby stream. With a VPN, you will be connecting to a UK server in this case and subscribing to an online service to watch the games. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it; Tip: Since the official EPCRugby website states that France’s FR2 and FR3 channels will be broadcasting the games, it may be worth subscribing to France.tv’s live stream by connecting to a server in France first with what you have learned from the steps above. Subscribing requires all the usual details, plus a postcode (where you can enter 75008 which is a French postal code). We have successfully accessed the French live-streamed channels with this method, which should be streaming the games live.
