Where To Watch Rugby World Cup 2011 Highlights?

How do I watch the 2011 Rugby World Cup in the USA?

• I'm a big Rugby fan and I want to be able to watch the Rugby World Cup on my TV from here in the United States. I have "Direct TV" and was wondering if there was a chanel that I could order the rights to watch All (if not most) of the Rugby Matches. If its unable to provide all matches I want to be able to fallow all All Blacks matches. If anyone knows how and where a station that provides this is I'd be thankful. P.S. if There is a Website that anyone knows of that will show Matches Live that would also work. Thank you

  Iago has hit the nail squarely on the head for American coverage. NBC and its Univesal affiliate has the upcoming World Cup rights, and they have promised pretty comprehensive coverage. For other competitions, Fox Soccer purchased Setanta USA's rugby rights when that company restructured, and is gradually increasing its rugby coverage -- some of us feared for a while that it had dropped rugby entirely. I would only add that some areas in the United States allows access to Canadian satellite TV. If you are in that catagory, you might want to look into Setanta Canada. This branch of the Setanta franchise was unaffected by the recent restructuring, and covers all the major (English-speaking) leagues -- ITM Cup, Currie Cup, English Premiership, Magners League and Super-15. You also get coverage of the Six Nations, Tri-Nations and the Heineken Cup.
