That world rankings graphic is great. I’ve never seen that before, but it’s a really good representation of form. In AFL we get the ladder, then separately we might get the form, but at least with this you can see who’s currently got the wind in their sails and who hasn’t.

Surprising to see heavy promotion of NZ v SA in the broadcast. I guess Nine will be hoping for more Stan sign ups amongst NZers and South African rugby fans who haven’t yet signed up.

Yes. There’s a lot of interest in tonight’s ABs and Boks game considering how SA should have probably won last week. My sister (in Aus) even texted me asking where she could watch the ABs game. She’s not a big rugby fan, but she’s a Kiwi so there’s almost like an obligation to watch tonight’s match.

It will be Canada v England in the 2025 Women’s Rugby Women’s Cup final, live from Twickenham. Nine’s FTA coverage starts at 10.30pm local time in WA this Saturday (September 27), midnight Sunday in SA and NT, and 12.30am Sunday in the eastern states.
Before that, Stan will exclusively stream the third-place playoff between New Zealand and France, also from Twickenham, from 9pm AEST.

Interesting with the normal WWOS bug being used rather than WWOS/Stan Sport.
It was announced today that the Wallabies would kick off the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Perth on October 1. The draw will take place on December 3.

I saw (based on the highlights) that Stan took Sky NZ’s coverage of this game, despite it being a Ireland “home” game.
