Rugby union fans are being treated to a flurry of autumn internationals, and with a buoyant Ireland heading to the States to face Italy, we're here to tell you how you can live stream the whole match absolutely free.
2018 has treated Ireland well after a memorable triumph in the 6 Nations. Their third ever grand slam saw them climb to 2nd in the world rankings and they'll relish the chance to take on Italy in the same stadium that saw a famous Irish victory over New Zealand in 2016.
Italy have not beaten Ireland in five years and their hopes look slim in Chicago, but the side has been able to sample that winning feeling in 2018, securing a victory in one of two matches with Japan in June.
If you're hoping to tune into Ireland vs Italy, you're in the right place. The good news is that the UK free-to-air broadcaster Channel 4 is hosting the coverage and you can use a VPN to catch it if you live outside the UK.
