## A VPN travels with you
A VPN makes your device look like it is back home, so your usual subscription still works abroad. TechRadar points at NordVPN, currently 75% off.
## US: Paramount+
Essential runs $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year, Premium from $13.99. A $1 Walmart Plus 30-day trial gets you there cheaper. RugbyPass TV is not carrying this one.

## UK: Sky Sports Action
Sky Sports packages start at £22 a month for existing subscribers and £35 without Sky. A NOW Sports membership carries the same channels.
## Australia and New Zealand
Stan Sport has it exclusively in Australia, AU$20 a month on top of Stan from AU$9.99. In NZ, Sky Sport 1 goes live from 8am NZST Sunday.
## South Africa and Canada
SuperSport covers every Test in South Africa via a DStv package from R99 a month streaming. Canadians need Premier Sports at CA$29.99 a month.
## Key takeaway

The only free stream is ThreeNow in New Zealand on tape delay from 12.30pm NZST Sunday; everywhere else needs a paid service, or a VPN if you are travelling.
