Question

Will there be a US TV network showing the Rugby world cup?

Answer 1

not a reputible network, no. maybe some obscure digital cable channel like fox rugby channel or ESPN 30.

Answer 2

no.  the rights have been sold to a pay per view outlet.  Sucks don't it!  So much for raising the profile of rugby in the usa.  Who the h**l who does not know about the sport is going to pay $20.00 per game or $200.00 for the tournament.  Way to go IRB and USA rugby.

Answer 3

perhaps but I hope not

Answer 4

You'll be able to get all the highlights on World Rugby TV over the net via www.irb.com - click on the TV link on the left.

Answer 5

I REALLY HOPE NOT!!!!

Answer 6

I wish. You probally wont even get highlights of it on the US channels. You might get a game or highlights if youget BBC america or live near Canada and can pick up there channels. The other idea is go to the local British or Irish pub and see if they will be showing them.

Answer 7

There is no place for commercials!!!!  The US public as a whole still doesn't know the game and will not because there is no lace to put the commercials that pay for all of our media.

Do they sell DVDs of the games.  If so where.  If I have to pay some stupid price for games, at least I can end up owning them...
