Are the 2007 World Cup Rugby games going to be available on Pay-Per-View on TV?

Question

The last RWC was available, specifically the semi finals and finals, for $20 a game, so was wondering if any cable/direct TV services will be making them available this year. They were also LIVE last time .. really don't want to miss any All Blacks games!

Answer 1

Where do you live?  Broadcasts are totally different around the world.  

Sky will have it all in New Zealand.  If you live in North America, then just call your cable/satellite provider and ask about Setanta Sports.  Setanta got the broadcast rights for North America.  I live in Canada and Setanta just started a channel with my satellite provider for $15 a month so thats a whole lot cheaper than $20 a game!  

You mentioned DirectTV so I assume you are in the States.  This is on the Setanta site so you should be able to get it.  http://na.setanta.tv/nasubscribe.htm

I heard they were delaying a couple games by an hour or two but mostly they were live from what I read.  I cant imagine any of the games from the Quarter Finals to the Final would be delayed though.  The channel is 90% soccer, which sucks but $30 to watch the whole RWC is a bargain IMO.
