Has it been announced that Stan has the rights to those games? I’m seeing a lot for the Japan game, NZ vs USA, and nothing for anything else.

yep, given the USA lost to Uruguay (comfortably!) in their direct RWC qualifier last weekend, I’d be stunned if the All Blacks came away with less than 70 on the board.

beIN Sports has been broadcasting Six Nations in Australia for the past 10-15 years so it is a great get for Stan.
(IIRC Fox Sports and ESPN had also shown the tournament before beIN)
Stan’s next target will be exclusive rights to the Autumn Nations series in Europe.

Unfortunately Stan don’t have the rights to the United Rugby Championship EPCR and ERCC as well as Rugby 7’s
Do you know if the rights were up for grabs, or did Stan buy them off Bein?
Rights were up for grabs at the end of last year
I got an email from Stan saying they are now showing a new Japanese Rugby League competition, but it turned out to be Union. Is what we called Rugby Union known as Rugby League in Japan? Very confusing.
