Question about rugby on TV in N America

[crazycanuck]

Umm quick question..Hope someone can hewp meee.

We're going to be away for the Super 14 final matches and are wondering if they're being shown on ESPN 2 (?) in the US or Canada. Would someone have a peek in thier pay tv (whatever it's called up there) guides & tell me what time most rugby matches are on?

Tanks!

Someone else can chime in - The matches are on channel 615 on DirecTV which is a satellite service. Many people have DirecTV in their homes, and almost all sports bars do (the trick is convincing the person in charge of the remote to turn the channel to the event you want )

But. I don't know whether 615 is a premium channel or not. DirecTV's website is just about impossible, and right now I can't check on my own TV because we had a little bit of snow overnight that's apparently covering the satellite dish.

Anyway here is the schedule for the next two weeks. Note that this is for the Eastern time zone. You will be three hours earlier in the Pacific time zone.

Oakleaf Thank ye Thank ye thanks!!!!

Fingers crossed my dad has direct tv...hotel we're staying @ in Seattle might

We know the routine of begging the pub owner to change it over to watch rugby.. Also, we know what it's like to be in a strange town & wonder where the games will be played..

Fingers crossed!!!
