English & Celtic Rugby Returns To Setanta

Early September is my favorite time of year. The Barclays Premier League’s early season is heating up, NCAA & NFL football kicks off & of course, the return of the Magners League & Guinness Premiership. Since this is RUGGERBLOG.com, guess what we’re going to focus on right now?
Tomorrow I will post the complete opening weekend fixtures for both leagues, but today we’ll focus on the TV listings on Setanta Sports. It begins with Munster as they travel to Glasgow on Friday with hopes of defending their Magners League title this season. It will end on Sunday with two live Guinness Premiership battles. Throw in some Currie Cup, Air New Zealand Cup & another Tri-Nations battle between Australia & South Africa…you have the makings of a great rugby weekend.
I’m gonna hook you up with the TV listings through Labor Day as there will be some delayed coverage on the holiday.
