re-posted from ScrumQueens:
Sky Sports has confirmed that it will broadcast thirteen live games from the Women’s Rugby World Cup.
There will be nine pool games live, including all of England’s matches, highlights from the remaining games as well as full coverage of the third place play off, semi-finals and the World Cup Final being played at The Stoop in west London.
Asides from England’s pool games, Sky has selected some of the top games from the other pool stages to show live.
On day one they will broadcast Wales V Australia, New Zealand V South Africa and England V Ireland – three of the most exciting clashes on the day.
On the second day of action there will be full live broadcasts from the games between France and Scotland, England and Kazakhstan and the most highly anticipated match of the pool stages, New Zealand and Australia.
On day three the matches being shown are New Zealand V Wales, Australia V South Africa and England V the USA.
Both semi-finals, the third place play off and the World Cup final will also be shown live though full details of those broadcasts and where they will feature are to be announced.
Other countries who show the World Cup (for example the Rugby Channel in New Zealand will show the Black Ferns games) will also take the Sky feed and commentary.
The IRB is also planning to simultaneously stream the same games that Sky has selected live.

Can you send me the details as to how one gets these broadcasts???
The IRB will be making these games available as webcasts. No news yet about where yet, but the broadcasts will be free. Other than that some countries may also take Sky’s feed but again no confirmation about who or where yet.

Thanks,

Just a quibble. The word is ‘broadcast’ not ‘broadcasted’. It is an infinitive. The headline should be: “Women’s Rugby World Cup Games to be broadcast by Sky Sports”
