Arrow FSW cutting back on Rugby coverage ?

So far I haven't seen a conformation that they are showing matches from the upcoming Heineken Cup quater finals and the 6 Nations. I know their showing the Super 12 next month but if they stop showing rugby from the northern hemisphere then that be a big mistake.

Too bad Six Nations has been owned (in the US) by Setanta Sports and is available on Closed-Circuit only.

I haven't heard whether they'll (FSW) have S12, either. Usually they would have been promoting it by now.

No they still have Super 12 they're showing 2 live games a week. I was wondering if they were dropping European games because I don't know if their showing 6N or Heineken Cup like they did last year.

That is true, but FSW showed the games tape delay last year. My local charges $20 cover to see the games live. Not their fault as Setanta really sticks it to them.

This page has a good listing of Rugby friendly pubs. It also used to have monthly schedules for FSW, but it is currently blank.

What about the Rugby World Cup? Did FSW show any matches in '99?
