Need to watch Rugby World Cup from the U.S.

How do I watch the Rugby World Cup online in the U.S.?
I have a homesick friend, and I'd like to set him up with a method for watching the Rugby World Cup online. I'm willing to pay for him to get access, but I'm uncertain of the best method for doing it. Do I need a VPN, if so, does anyone have a recommendation/instructions?
Extra awesome would be the ability to watch replays of matches, though live streaming would be a necessity for matches involving England or Italy.
Browser-based options would be super awesome as I suspect he'll want to watch some matches from his office (where his ability to customize his computer is somewhat limited). I recognize that non-VPN might be impossible since everything online says I need a VPN setup.

Response by poster: Awesome. That solves the replay requirement.
Now I just need to get an option for live streaming.

I've found vipstand.me to be good for live streaming of Rugby League, but in passing I've noticed that they lump League into a general "Rugby" bucket & Union games are also available there. There seem to be a bunch of similarly named sites: vipstand.tv, vipstand.net, vipbox.tv ... I can't comment on these but maybe take a look.
