**I recently signed up for Setanta Broadband so I could start watching more International Rugby matches and National Rugby Matches but have been pretty disappointed in the local matches. Setanta sent out that email boasting that they would be showing several games from San Diego 7s and it appears that they are only showing two. Very disappointing, would have LOVED to watch one of the Women’s Matches.
