New Zealand Rugby has committed to Sky for another five years.  Nearly every All Blacks match, including the 2029 Lions Tour, the new Nations Cup, and all matches in the Sanzaar countries will broadcast on Sky Sport.  TVNZ has also secured NPC rights, along with a few Farah Palmer Cup games, which will be broadcast free-to-air on TVNZ+.  However, the deal doesn't include five future All Blacks tests, yet to be named, which will be open to bidding when they are announced.  Chair of New Zealand Rugby David Kirk joined the show to discuss the ins and outs of the deal.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
