Rugby World Cup

[cmasia]

Setanta has the rights to the entire tournament, showing half the games live on Channel 615, and half the games - all the important ones - on Setanta PPV.

Dish Network is packaging all the PPV games for $199, but so far the only D* info I can find has them at $24.95 per match.

As usual CS at D* has no clue what is going on.

Anyone have any info?

Any rugby fans here?

I am looking but saw this odd story:

AFP: International media boycott rugby World Cup

I see what you mean. For anyone else a fan of the fifteen man code, here's a link to Setanta's schedule.

Rugby World Cup 2007

I saw the NZ - Italy listing in the program guide. I didn't realize this many matches would be shown on a delayed basis on regular Setanta. Still, it is better than Fox Sports World's (now Fox Soccer Channel) coverage of 2003 where every match was delayed.

We do get England and South Africa live against the USA. Unfortunately, "live" will likely be a relative term for these mis-matches.

All Blacks for the 15-man code.
Australia for the willow and hide game.
