- The opening test on 26th November will still be on Sky (via the Red Button - which is a bit annoying as that makes recording it, or watching it online, impossible), kick off 5pm
- The second test, on 29th November (at Esher) will available on www.rfu.com/englandwomenlive, kick-off 7pm
- The third test, on December 3rd, will also be available on www.rfu.com/englandwomenlive, kick-off 3pm
The streaming page will be available from 28th November, and will be accessible free to viewers overseas as well as in the UK. A full recording on the page of the second and third tests will also be available for three days after each game, and edited highlights will also www.rfu.com.
This is not the first time that England women's internationals have been streamed, five or six years ago some home games were covered by independent, commercial webcasters, but viewers had to pay a subscription fee to watch the live games. This will be the first time that the RFU/RFUW have streamed their own games - and the first time the games have been made available free. Most international games in North America and the Caribbean, as well as occasional games in France and eastern Europe, have been successfully webcast for some years.
- England will also be playing against Wales at Twickenham in the Six Nations, which means that there is a very good chance that this game will also be broadcast on the BBC.
Just for info - you should be able to record via the red button on Sky now. It's certainly been available for HC games this season.
ReplyDeleteAlso heard a whisper that the Wales v Italy match will be played at Millennium stadium following Mens 6N match.
