Is there a full draw out?
RA has nothing on their website about it besides the initial news articles

They need more information to promote the comp but here is the basic draw. Not sure on the venues.

Fox sports to show all Super W games. Draw yet to be confirmed.

https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/...e/news-story/22a13a87cba04ea9f0c070b4fccced54

 

[TOCC]

Great news, odd that RA was beaten to the punch about announcing this, I wonder if the added pressure on Foxsports over the whereabouts of the $30million grant towards broadcasting women’s sport had a part to play. Either case it’s a positive outcome for the Super W

 

[liquor box]

I wonder how Fox will broadcast the double headers? Will they use a second channel so they can have a NZ based men's lead in and on another channel have a women's game on as a lead in?

eg 530pm Men's game from NZ and also a women's game from Australia then a 730pm men's game from Australia

 

[RugbyReg]

It looks like not all games will be live.

“The draw is expected to be finalised this week with a number of games will be held as double-headers with men’s fixtures and some matches to be shown live on Fox.”

“The draw is expected to be finalised this week with a number of games will be held as double-headers with men’s fixtures and some matches to be shown live on Fox.”

Considering I wasn't expecting any of the games to be broadcast on TV this is a win.

 

[Rebels3]

Brilliant.

Our duty now is to get behind it and support it.

 

[TOCC]

The devil is in the detail, all games will be shown live, however some will be on Foxtel and some will be available to be streamed via Foxsports, similar to the NRC.

The games will be shown live on Fox Sports platforms on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights throughout the five week season.


https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/...s/news-story/d86253c52270cd03b3e823133924d701

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

[p.Tah]

Screw you Foxtel, just as I’m fed up with your service and considering cancelling my subscription you go and do something like this to support the sport I love. I guesss I’m staying

 

[Strewthcobber]

Slide a bit of thanks to Mal and us poor old taxpayers too P.tah

 

[p.Tah]

That’s one thing I’m happy for my taxes to go to.

Good article on the Brumbies Super W side and the varying backgrounds but similar commitment of the women involved:

[WorkingClassRugger]

Looking forward to seeing this probably a little more than I am Super Rugby itself.

 

[p.Tah]

I have a daughter starting kindergarten this year.
A Mum at the school approached my wife and asked if my daughter could join their soccer team.
My wife replied, thanks but she is playing rugby.
The other mum replied’ Wow, I wasn’t expecting that reply’
To which my wife replied ‘No? You’re going to hear it a lot more soon ’

I’m very excited about the Super W inspiring the next generation.

I attended a girls pre-season rugby try out recently. 50 girls turned up. I was impressed.

That is a fantastic comment - well done to your wife. My daughter is in her 6th year of playing rugby this season, she has calculated what year she will be eligible for the Olympics in 7s.

you should contact one of the London Bookies and do one of those crazy future bets where you bet on your child winning a gold medal
