but the Waratahs will be hard to beat playing their first final in Sydney.

yeah, I think the home field might be the difference in this one. I'll be cheering for the Waratahs but just hope it's a good game more like the quarterfinals than the semifinals.

Yeah the semi's were pretty lackluster though the Brumbies put up a better fight that the final score would indicate the Waratha's defense was just stifling.

They already sold 50,000 tickets so far and are expecting to break the 55,000 record for a super rugby final.

(English) Premiership 7s going on right now. Entertaining, if only for the massive amount of mistakes.

Lots of Kenyans taking part.


ETA: Large fight at the end of Northampton-Saracens

Also, look up Mallinder's second try in that match.

Yeah wow what a great game that was! Best super rugby game of the season and it was the final!


Everyone needs to watch this one for sure. Really sets up wonderfully too the Bledisloe Cup in couple of weeks.

Games like this are what made me a rugby fan!

I think it would be an excellent game to show the casual fan and/or someone wanting to "get into" rugby.



Also The Rugby Championship is just around the corner.

Oh definitely. That's the kinda game you show somebody who's never seen rugby before.

French Top 14 season kicks off the same weekend too. I love how between the two hemispheres there's pretty much rugby on every weekend of the year.

How much rugby content is on Bein? They offer it on Cox but it's subscription. I'd be tempted to subscribe if I knew there would be a decent amount of rugby on the network.

Pretty good bit and with that channel comes universal sports, & fox sports 2 (rugby league) also with a lot of rugby!

Here's what you do:
Call COX, tell them AT&T Uverse offers a whole lot more channels for a better deal.
Tell them you need lots of sports! They (COX) will offer you a sports pack one & two (which will have SEC network & others) and you will accept their offer.

I dropped my cable bill by 36 dollars and got the two tier sports package that COX offers! Including MLB network, NBA, NFL & NFL Redzone.....
You won't be disappointed

speaking of looking ahead to Bledisloe, what's the word on Dan Carter? Time to hang em up for good? Too many injuries mounting
