Just putting this out there, As Maori TV will be broadcasting a big majority of the RWC games on free to air TV will they step-up and go HD?? I would have to say the same about Prime...will they go HD as well?? I would assume TVNZ and MediaWorks will be broadcasting RWC in HD...

They can't just go HD without acquiring additional bandwidth. They are both broadcast on the Kordia mux, and I don't believe that Kordia have sufficient spare bandwidth available for them to go HD.
During the Olympics there was A PrimeHD channel broadcast only on Sky satellite. They only transmitted the games in HD, not any of the normal programming, and the channel went off air as soon as the games finished.
As far as I can find Kordia still have 4ch open on ther mux. I would hope they do go HD for the RWC as is this not why the pushed so hard and fast? sat would have been fine if its not going tgo be in HD.
Thanks to Buto Productions, state of the art equipment will ensure production values never before seen for pro-wrestling on TV in New Zealand, as MMM hits screens in High Definition"

hdinsider: I would put money on tvnz showing HD for the games they have. They've built an HD OB truck to use for the rwc! Hope they do dolby 5.1.
OSB will be the 'host filmer' for the World Cup though right? TVNZ will have their own truck for the purposes of pre and post match at the ground?
I doubt MTS will do the World Cup in HD. TVNZ and TV3 will be toss a coin, both have the ability to to HD. If it's just a matter of sourcing it from Sky, then as long as the cost can be justified i'd say they will.
Prime don't have any World Cup rights as far as I know.
As one of the "mugs" who pays the big dollars for HD Sport on Sky, I would be more than slighlty pi$$ed if others could watch the same thing on FTA at my expense
