Rugby finds a home on Nine | The Daily Telegraph
CHANNEL 9 has scored a victory in the television battle with Channel 7 by securing the Australian broadcast rights to the 2011 and 2015 Rugby World Cups.
In a landmark deal with the International Rugby Board and in conjunction with Fox Sports, Nine has announced plans to deliver comprehensive coverage of the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand and the 2015 tournament.

thank god 7 lost the fight for it
BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
7 haven't set the bar very high so it should be easy for 9 to do a better job.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
the highlight of the 2007 RWC coverage would have been the interview with myself &
number 8,
surely
if it is conjunction with foxtel we should get a very impressive coverage!
Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.
I wonder whether FTA will get stiffed for all the big games.
Surely not anything with the Wallabies playing.

Not that I'll be watching it on tv anywaybut, I think channel 10 did a really good job of last year's world cup, having Ben Darwin, Ben Tune, Rupert McCall & Bill Woods on the broadcast team was a good move, especially with Tune and Darwin doing the commentary, they did a MUCH better job than Channel 7's commentary team.
They also had segments explaining to the viewers how to pack a scrum and set up a lineout and showed what was happening around the villages where the Wallabies were staying. They set the bar pretty high for channel 9, but surely they can't do any worse than channel 7![]()
i really enjoyed channel tens coverage of the world cup!
now we will have to see what channel 9 will pull out of the bag

Hmmm.... I might have to rethink a few things.
Maybe there IS a god.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.

i actually thought the Ch10 coverage of the last RWC was pretty good as well, apart from the fact that many of the games were after midnight which wasnt there fault anyway, it was pretty good coverage.
i too thought the Ch 10 coverage was great. Ch 9 dont have to do alot to beat 7 and i'm glad 7 didn't win the rights, even out of AFL season they would have stuffed us around

true, but it is only for 3ish weeks vs the other 25 weeks. But some of the delays worked out well, saturday game starting at 8:30pm, friday game at 9:30ish. At least we got the GF live
The RWC is organised like the Soccer World Cup isnt it, no game clashes with another??
