They've made an app for the RWC, which will be released on the 24th: http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/news/newsid=2044737.html

Good to hear. I thought they may have been Blackberry exclusive as part of their sponsorship.

Looks awesome if they have the right developers. *hint hint*

Anyone downloaded the Wallabies' Blackberry apps?

The "My Rugby" app is truly awful - slow, poorly coded, shit player profiles (no pics, just height and weight), and just plane wrong navigation (back closes the whole app wtf).
They also released a Blackberry theme which combines shit and poorly contrasting colours with terrible fonts, making your Blackberry not only look like a geocities experiment but also less effective as a communications device.

I'll post some screenshots when I get a chance.

Blackberry theme. Very last image is how the blackberry normally looks

"My Rugby" App part 1.
The white screen - figured I watched it for 30 seconds so it was worth taking a screenshot.
I particularly like the 5th image - if you use the app be sure to rotate your phone...

I love the way they avoid the players commonly used names and just call then Benjamin or Rodney. Also good to know a players weight to two decimal places, that kind of info can settle a bet easily.

Yeah the MyRugby app needs some work. I don't have the theme, as I have a Bold.

The MyRugbyTV app is a lot better of the 2. I'll post some screenshots later.

Android or Apple fan boy?

The main gripe is the fact that they seemed to have rushed the development.

I'm doing a promo/interview with Blackberry next week, in relation to the Rebel Army, might get a chance to mention the issues. They might grab a screenshot of my phone, see the GAGR BBM group too!

 

[Army_Gav]

Bump!

It's out: http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/mobileapps/index.html

Awesome on the Playbook

Rugby World Cup app for iPhone is also out.
There is an iPad version as well

Match centre looks good giving you match times in your local time to your phone, previous game history

Tournament section crashes for me. (Might be because I'm on iOS 5 Beta)

Videos features 'selected' highlights
NZ Lomu try against France 1999 (not end result)
French try against AU that got them into 1987 final
England win against AU 2003
NZ 1987 final win against France
