Watch England v Wales from overseas
Gone away for the long Easter weekend? That doesn’t mean you have to miss the big match. Rugby-loving UK and Irish residents can still watch an England v Wales live stream from overseas if they use a VPN.
A VPN – or Virtual Private Network – is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television – even when you’re abroad.
The technology experts from TechRadar praise ExpressVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. It also comes with three months extra free when you sign up for a year, and a 30-day money-back guarantee for extra peace of mind.
