What would the Total Eclipse look like on a planet with rings?

The recent total eclipse, got me thinking about how it would look in my world.

I have a earth-sized planet with a ring system, a couple of small moons and 1 or 2 bigger moons.

How would a planetary ring system affect the viewing of the total eclipse of any one of these moons:

• as seen from the planet surface?
• bonus - as seen from the ISS position?

I'm thinking there must be some interference of some sort:

• Would the position of the rings affect the light refractions, flares etc?
• would the reflection of the rings light up the planet facing side of the moon?
• Would there be absolutely no difference to what we saw recently?

I'm not looking for an artistist depiction (although if you have any handy graphics, please feel free to share) but a basic written description of the sort of differences one would see.
