Even though Rugby World Cup 2007 is on the other side of the world, Rugby TV on Vodafone live! will bring Aussies as close to the action as when the tournament was played in our own backyard.
When Rugby World Cup 2007 kicks off on September 7, Vodafone’s Rugby TV will offer Australian fans over 60 hours of live Rugby World Cup 2007 coverage, including 40 live matches and 8 near live matches. There’s also news highlights, vi deo match reports, archive footage and previews clips in the lead up to the tournament and prior to major matches.
With many of the games played in the middle of the night, Australia time, Vodafone customers can sleep soundly knowing that when they wake up they can catch all the action from the comfort of their own beds.
According to Richard Sherwood, General Manager of Mass Markets, Vodafone Australia: “With all eyes on Europe for the upcoming Rugby World Cup, Vodafone will be making sure customers have constant access to all games during the tournament so they are up-to-date with all the latest tries, tackles and victories”.
“Australia is home to many passionate rugby fans from all corners of the world and with Rugby TV showcasing 20 matches that will not be broadcast on FTA – it’s a great chance for expats around the nation to tune in and never miss a second of their home team!”
