Yeah sorry meant a Championship match. Just looked it up and looks like away matches v SA and ARG aren’t guaranteed to be on FTA.

It’s strange that this Saturday’s women’s test in Christchurch won’t be shown on FTA.
Is it? Is there a men’s test afterwards?
No, it will be a standalone match.

I wonder if Stan has bought the rights to the tournament at all.

Now confirmed. Nine and Stan Sport will also broadcast men’s Rugby World Cup in France next year. Nine last aired the men’s RWC in 2015.

A great outcome for world rugby to have the power of nine entertainment broadcasting multi platform coverage exclusively. Like tennis and soccer, rugby have the better rights deals in this country all under the banner of one media conglomerate to leverage the rights across all platforms. Much better than the NRL, afl and cricket disasters.

Great news to see Rugby World Cup on Channel 9 in Hd.
Nine previously broadcasted the 2011 Rugby World Cup in NZ and 2015 Edition in England. Hope that Stan Sport screens all Matches in 4K.
