ITV have launched a free app that allows fans to interact live with the 2015 World Cup.

The play-along platform also allows people to catch the latest news and receive video highlights from the tournament.

The app gives fans the chance users to vote during Television Match Official decisions about whether a try should have been given.

ITV online product manager Ashley Fletcher said: “Our app is a great way for fans to get even closer to games, interact with the programme and share and debate with fellow rugby fans.”

One of the functions is a penalty-kicking game called Kick It!, which has been sponsored by Specsavers, allows users to imitate penalties during live games.

Other sponsors of the app include Land Rover and Scottish Electricity.

ITV won exclusive rights to this year’s Rugby World Cup which starts on Friday 18 September with England vs Fiji.
