Overall i couldn't really care. I think they showed the final live over here last year didn't they

Hats off to Foxtel for showing these games (twice) a week after they're played.
Perhaps some thought could be put around playing the Thursday game live and the replay on Friday morning?

Time for a rugby channel?
i wish
If an AFL channel couldn't survive in a country where it is apparently the dominant winter sport what chance would Rugby have.
From what i've heard Setanta is pretty close to a Rugby channel

Setanta is definately a Football channel and by Football I mean what Football is Soccer.
Don't get it if you think it's even close to a Rugby channel because you will be dissapointed.
If you want to watch Football from every European league then you will be very satisfied. They do show Rugby but it is a sideline to the Football. It is good to have if you like the Magners or Guinness Premiership games because this is the only place you will see them and the Six Nations of course in February.
Magners and Guinness Premiership seasons kick off some time in September.
Why can't we just steal NZ's Rugby channel and put it on Fox, no worries!
