I'm not sure what you're talking about. Apple TV has nothing to do with watching TV on your Mac, it's the opposite, i.e. watching media from your Mac on your TV set. Then you mention broadband internet. Are the rugby matches you talk about streamed over the internet? If so, what is needed for displaying the stream? That way, one might find out if something like VPC is needed.
Generally, I'd say VPC is not the ideal solution for anything video. Too slow.
