Story by: ARU
Fox Sports will broadcast 14 Test matches from the Northern Hemisphere throughout November, including all four Qantas Wallaby Tests live as well as Tests involving New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and the Pacific Islanders.
Fox Sports has confirmed its ongoing commitment to Rugby which has seen the network cover every Qantas Wallaby match live this season - nationwide and uninterrupted.
Rugby fans have responded to the Fox Sports coverage, making this year's Bledisloe Cup Test in Brisbane the biggest ever audience for a Rugby match on pay television.
Fox Sports' Rugby schedule in November includes ten live Tests and four matches on delay, and includes matches from the All Blacks, Springboks and the Pacific Islanders' spring tours.
"The level of Rugby coverage provided by Fox Sport reached a new benchmark this year, with every Test broadcast live around Australia as well as comprehensive pre-match and post-match analysis," ARU CEO and Managing Director Gary Flowers said.
"When you combine Fox Sports' coverage of 14 Tests in November, with the free to air coverage announced today by Network Ten, Rugby fans will have a smorgasboard of Test Rugby to sink their teeth into."
