Finally some real sports!

Jeff January 31st, 2008

NZRU partners with USA Rugby.  It does not look like this will include increased television coverage but that may come if more kids get involved at any earlier age, increasing interest in the sport.  Funny that NZ stepped up and not Australia or England.  Just another reason to love that country.

Rugby World Cup 2007

Jeff September 5th, 2007

I could not believe my eyes when I saw that a tv station in the USA is actually going to be showing the Rugby World Cup and if my timezone math is correct, will actually be live for some of the games! The station is Versus; they have a calculator so you can figure out which channel they are on in your area. They have the schedule listed here on their website. I have to say I will be rooting for whoever is playing England as they won in 2003 by playing for penalties with Jonny Wilkinson. That is no way to win a match. Go for tries or go home!
