Americas Rugby News Rugby news from across the Americas!
When USA Rugby launched their for-profit Rugby International Marketing one of their big announcements was plans for a streaming rugby content channel. Since the initial launch, little has been heard from RIM regarding their channel launch aside from an occasional reference to working on the platform. While they have yet to announce an exact date for the launch of the channel, signs are pointing to something in the near future.
In the past few days, a website has surfaced called The Rugby Channel.TV. Fans have the option of submitting their email address for updates on the channel’s launch. A little digging into the back ground information on the website suggests that this is indeed the long awaited RIM Rugby Channel.

Stay tuned as details emerge regarding the launch date and what rugby the channel is set to carry.
