If you want to see a good game of rugby, make sure it includes Australia or New Zealand, preferably the two of them competing.

If you're interested in watching it live, many colleges have club teams, and some are pretty good.

There are also some men's leagues around if you want to play...

Super League is a lot different to Rugby Union, just so you know.

Australia has just played England in a friendly and New Zealand have just played Ireland two days ago, I think tomorrow has the Australian Babarians (Invitational team but still top quality) playing England if you can find a stream or even coverage of it.

Check out setanta.com  They own the rights to most international matches. Your cable company may offer setanta. And setanta streams game online. There are bars (banshee) that play games in Boston. For big matches expect to pay a cover as these are pay per view. Big money internationally. Probably why is hard to catch on the US. If this was free to watch, maybe people would get into it.

I've never heard of superleague being televised. 7's (7on7 rugby) is occasionally on TV, I think the day of the superbowl.
