Yes, it'll cope with rugby, the subjects are far enough away for the continuous AF to cope - just as it can cope with things like airshows. It's when it's trying to track things in close that it struggles.

You can get it a bit cheaper plus a spare (pattern) battery from SRS, a Pentax specialist dealer I've used quite a few times.

SRS do free postage if you buy from their ebay shop or are a member of the pentaxuser.co.uk forum.

Depends on the level of service your local dealer offers. You could see if they'll price match SRS if you take a printout in to the shop.
