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.

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.”
