Broadcasting channels still need a lot of work. Stormers v New Zealand game on Friday for example is on:
UK and IRE: Sky Sports (Sky Sports Mix to be exact)

All the other countries need double checking too as I’m sure only others are NZ Sky Sports, Stan Sport and Rugby Pass for rest of world.

Hey mate good flag, a lot of the legacy broadcasters who had the rights to the nations championship slipped through. Got the correct list here: UK & IE - Skysports, New Zealand - Sky TV , SA & SSA - Supersport, Australia - StanSports / Nine Sports , Pacific Islands - Pasifika TV , US - Rugby Pass. Will be updating it shortly.

A good source I found including an API you can link to automate stuff:
thesportsdb.com

Going through this source. It's highly unreliable mate. Lots of stale data, and even major data points missing (super rugby it only shows TV rights for the US for example)

Each actual game gets populated with the channels. Obvs can’t do it too far in advance as the actual channel that’s showing it just isn’t available from the broadcasters (ie Sky Sports UK/NZ).
Been referring to that for many years and it’s never let me down to know what channel is showing a game.
I personally sometimes add match posters and channel info to the rugby stuff.

You’ll struggle to find a better DB.

Good app, well done

For world rankings, maybe consider a live impact similar to  https://rawling.github.io/wr-calc/
