Where can I watch the upcoming World Cup Rugby? (other than going to England and watching ITV) Don't see anything about this. Wish WORLD SPORT would pick it up.

Setanta or via online are your choices. By all accounts it won't be available in widescreen let alone HD since Setanta owns the US broadcast rights.

It isn't available for subscription until August 1st. (Same 110 satellite slot as the other soccer channels.)
