Just read that Setanta have bought the rights to show every Rugby World Cup game live (2007 and 2011). Does anyone know if that's exclusive rights? ie will the BBC or RTE have the rights to any games also?

Setanta claim on their website that they will be the only tv outlet for the world cup within Eire.

As in 2003, ITV will be showing world cup games in the UK, these will also be screened by UTV. at this time it isn't clear which channels will be used, particularly for night games, or for those that clash with F1 coverage.
