Where in Chicago (bar, Irish pub, etc.) can I watch the Rugby World Cup matches?

Question

Starting next September 7 the IRB Rugby World Cup will be held in France. I am currently studing in Chicago and a rugby fan. I am aware that rugby is not much of a sport in the US and that is why I am seeking for at least one spot where to watch the matches...

Please phone Bar/Venue to confirm that the game that you want to see is being shown.

this is from the setanta site- they have rites to the matches.  most bars have setanta... there are differnt levels of setanta and the ones on this list have paid extra money to see all matches live.  basic setanta channels will show some of the matches on delay of 24-48 hours.  check the webiste for your specific zip code- just check the world cup box and enter your zip code and it will tell you which bars have paid for the premium channel.  i know the globe is where a lot of players hang.
