But earlier this year (before the RWC), Dish Network got a new channel Setanta Sports. They were giving a free preview and then cut it off right before the the pool matches started, so of course I had to subscribe. I'm still learning the rules/terminology/etc, but it's such a great sport. The athletic ability of the players is tremendous. Anyways, not much to contribute except to say that rugby is awesome!
Whenever I can, I drop by the local coffee & donut shop because the owner there has the Setanta sports package. Along with F1 racing, I love rugby with a passion, but I need more exposure to it televised since A.) it is hard to come by in this locale, and B.) I do not own a TV. I did notice a year or two ago a very indistinct channel/network, perhaps called "mHz", on which they would show the friday night highlights of both the English and Australian rules sport, and also aired a live game following the coverage. But I have yet to rediscover it.
