FOX Sports to screen Super W matches

FOX Sports has announced a partnership with the inaugural Super W season, featuring five female clubs aligned to each of the Super Rugby franchises, plus a Western Force side.

Wallaroo Mollie Gray said: “This is such an exciting time for women’s rugby – both the new competition and the fact that rugby fans will be able to watch every game on FOX Sports. Exposure is really important to grow the game and I can’t wait for the girls to show everyone what they can do on the field.”

Coverage will run for five weeks, kicking off on March 10.

The competition will feature a number of double-headers with the men’s Super Rugby games, plus a selection of stand-alone fixtures.

The matches will be broadcast on FOX Sports, on Foxtel, or foxsports.com.au on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the five-week season.

In more good news for women’s Rugby, Wallaroo Mollie Gray will join Nick McArdle, George Gregan, Drew Mitchell and Brendan Cannon as a regular panellist on Super Rugby: Kick & Chase to talk all things Rugby.

On her role on Kick & Chase, she added: “I’m also really looking forward to joining the Kick & Chase team. Nick (McArdle), George (Gregan), Drew (Mitchell) and Brendan (Cannon) are some of the most respected names in Rugby, and to get the chance to analyse the game alongside them each week is a very exciting.”

Super Rugby: Kick & Chase returns Wednesday February 21 at 7.30pm AEDT.
