[Brian Jacobs]

Fox Sports International has the most comprehensive rugby coverage in North America.  They showed every Super12, Tri Nations and Six Nations match, and I assume they'll show most of the World Cup.

Get thee to a digital cable provider!

I waited patiently for the Lord, 
He listened and heard my cry.
He lifted me up out of the pits, out of the miry clay.
He set my feet upon a rock and made my footsteps firm.
     --Psalm 40
