The 2008 AMNRL Grand Final will be available online ‘live’ and direct from the Fort Dix Military Base in New Jersey this Saturday, August 23rd.

The American National Rugby League and American Rugby News are proud to announce that they are partnering to provide a FREE broadcast of the big game on http://www.amnrl.com and http://www.americanrugbynews.com.

“This is an exciting time for both ARN and the AMNRL,” said American Rugby News editor Brian Lowe. “We are the only rugby media outlet in the United States that covers the great game of rugby league and we’re absolutely thrilled to be able to bring our listeners live coverage of this year’s Grand Final.

“It will mark the first time that an American rugby league game has been broadcast live in America, and ARN is truly honored to be part of this ground breaking event.”

The league’s perennial powerhouse club Aston DSC Bulls will be making an unprecedented 11th straight appearance in a Grand Final and will face a tough challenge in the New Haven Warriors.
