    What I have heard is different to this.

    As soon as I am given the thumbs up, I will tell all. I promise. Trust me, I work for the Government. Not that has anything to do with this information

    With most if not all the games being scheduled between 11pm and 6am your time I would actually be surprised if there would be that much demand for the pool games not featuring one of the bigger sides. Presumably this is a deciding factor for any network when contemplating how much to pay for the television rights.

    I calculate that there will be 48 games in total and 40 of those are at the pool stages. According to Exiles original post Oz TV will show 20 of those, i.e. half. Now when you consider that there are at least 2 pool games played simultaneously then that means to show all of the games you would need two chanels to cover all fixtures. Taking into account the time these will be played and the potential audience figures it hardly makes business sense to do this, more than one game at a time will dilute the viewers between both. What I guess is more likely is that highlights or delayed "not live" coverage of the 20 games not covered by Channel 10 will happen.

    Not good for the rugby fan but business sense I suppose. Offer is still there to watch at my house, i will of course be at the games so you will have the TV all to yourself

    Do they have that Santata thing for the 6N? They might well be useful for the RWC too.

    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.

    Anyone know how this will work?

    Ie, when Ch7 decides to delay telecasts of Wallaby Tests till 10:30 at night or Ch9 shows the NRL grand final at 2 in the morning, is that OK or will they "lose it"?

    Ladies and Gentlemen - Here is the news I couldnt tell you before, I can tell you now.

    Channel 10 will only show "marquee games of the RWC 2007. this will basically be all Wallaby games. Semi-Finals and the Final. Thats it.(give or take) Foxtel dont have any coverage.

    it is on payTV however another mob called Setanta. www.setanta.com.au

    they also show 6 Nations etc

    sorry for the delay in announcing this - i was hoping to have some further announcement to go along with this, but I wasnt clever enough
