[QUOTE="davymark, post: 140431"] Setanta is a bit expensive as far a individual pay for channels go, but they are broadcasting all the RWC games some not live of course. But the 24.95 a match or whatever I think you are referring to the Setanta broadband service, b/c all the RWC games are included in the 14.95/mo service on Directv. Which is about as excellent as rugby gets in the US. They have the magners, currie cup, super 14, guinness as well as some highlight shows. But I would be willing to wager the reason it costs so much is the lack of interest in the channel. If more people were subscribers to the channel the cost would be spread among more people and probably bring the cost down. Of course ESPN could break into their competitive cup stacking championship and play some rugby once in awhile. Although they did play the US-Munster match and the college championship game on ESPNU recently (the coverage was pretty bad though). Anyway Setanta is definitely worth it if you are into rugby hardcore and live in the US and have Directv. [/QUOTE]
