Tracking RWC11

Rince · 24th August 2011, 15:55

I proposed to our Dev team an app that can track RWC2011 results, standings, etc that can be then displayed on our monitoring screen (hopefully no servers die during the RWC)... but he just glared at me

Anyone know of such a tournament tracker? A Google finds a few, but they aren;t quite right...

requirements:
- track Pools stage
- track knockout stage
- web-based

or even better - is there a nice website out there going to do this already that we can simply display.

Or maybe just scrape http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/standings/index.html for the info I want....?
If so, how do you scrape a website?

I'm using a google calendar fixtures feed that's getting updated with scores. Syncs with my phone, makes it easy.
