SuperSport secures broadcast rights for All Blacks' full SA tour

CANAL+ has confirmed SuperSport will broadcast all eight matches of the All Blacks' first full South African tour in 30 years, covering both the four-Test Springbok series and the URC fixtures, starting with the Stormers hosting New Zealand in Cape Town tonight at 19h00.

CANAL+ has confirmed a broadcast rights agreement with SARU and New Zealand Rugby to screen all matches in the Castle Double Malt Rugby's Greatest Rivalry tour live on SuperSport via DStv.

The deal covers all four Springbok-All Blacks Tests as well as the four matches against URC sides as New Zealand undertake their first full tour of South Africa in 30 years. The tour opens tonight with the Stormers hosting the All Blacks in Cape Town at 19h00.

SARU CEO Rian Oberholzer described it as a landmark event, while CANAL+ Africa and MultiChoice Group CEO David Mignot pointed to the agreement as further evidence of the group's commitment to local sport. NZR CEO Steve Lancaster noted strong interest in the tour across both countries and globally.

SuperSport's coverage will include behind-the-scenes content from both camps alongside analysis from former players. Updates will run on supersport.com and SuperSport Blitz.
