Cool, thanks Rusty did not want to wake up for nothing.

[rustycruiser]

WAKE UP!

[LAKiwi]

Are they back to playing the Rugby on Fox Soccer???

[DMX]

Yes Fox Soccer+, replaced Setatanta, been showing a lot of June Tests, Tri-Nations,S14, Currie Cup. Have not seen NPC yet. I get it on Verizon Fios.

[rustycruiser]

ITM Cup is listed on the guide as well.

[davidav]

Fox Soccer + has really impressed me with the amount of rugby they are showing. And yes, they are airing the Tri Nations tests live. Most NZ tests start between 2-3:30 am, Aussie tests approximately the same times and South African based tests usually later in the morning/early afternoon on the East Coast. I was worried that the coverage would be less than Setanta, but in reality I think it's actually better. Plus, I get the games in HD.

[LAKiwi]

That on Cable Davidav? or through Satelitte.
Do you know if they're playing AirNZ cup as well?

I don't know where davidav is getting an HD feed from. AFAIK, while Fox Soccer Plus has announced it's availablity in HD, not one provider currently carries it. None! It is SD on Verizon Fios only. Rugby coverage for 2010 on Fox Soccer Plus is exactly the same as it was on Setanta. Nothing more, nothing less. Again, I don't know why davidav thinks it is better?

Rugby on Fox Soccer Plus

Air New Zealand Cup (July-Oct.) – 40 matches
Currie Cup (July-Oct.) – 45 matches
Guinness Premiership (Sept.-May) – 35 matches
Heineken Cup (Oct.-May) – 40 matches
Magners League (Sept.-May) – 80 matches
Super 14 (Feb.-May) – 36 matches
Tri-Nations (July-Sept.) – 9 matches

Edit : FSC+ HD is being carried in limited markets by Bright House and Time Warner cable apparently. But not by the other biggies (DirectTV, Dish Network, Verizon, ATT, Cox or Comcast)

So those who are using RugbyZone - looks like there is no Air NZ Cup this year, through RugbyZone.
How are you guys watching any of the NZ stuff?

[davidav]

I'm showing that the NZ/Wallabies test will air at 6:00 am EST. As far as where I'm getting my feed from, it's Verizon FiOS. And the definition is much sharper than what I had on Setanta.

[LAKiwi]

Asking specifically about the AirNZ cup (or whatever it's called nowadays).
I get the tests.

Lakiwi. Below is the schedule of the ITM Cup matches on Fox Soccer Plus scheduled so far. A fair amount of them are on live, a few tape delayed (ie if they run concurrently). Some are run more than once, others are aired only once, so having a DVR is key. The schedule is a work in progress, it seems (see the lack of team names in the September matches.)

I think that this is the most provincial NZ rugby I have ever seen on US TV, awesome. Ironic its on the soccer channel.

[davidav]

I was really worried when Setanta went off the air. I thought that would be the end of good rugby on US TV. I'm very glad that I was wrong. Fox Soccer+ is actually better.

[Allstar]

there are no games on concurrently in 2010 as far as I know. The second Friday night game is now on at 4:30pm Sunday (NZT)
