SuperSport have released the television broadcasting times for the upcoming Junior Rugby World Cup to be hosted in Stellenbosch and Cape Town.
Release
For the first time, the IRB Junior World Championship, which starts in Stellenbosch on Monday, will enjoy blanket coverage on international television.
SuperSport will broadcast the entire tournament for a global audience of more than 240 million homes, who will receive the feed via 17 international broadcasters.
Additionally, supersport.com will provide a free live stream to every match to anyone on the planet who wants to watch online.
“SuperSport is thrilled to be producing and broadcasting the IRB Junior World Championship to our subscribers,” said Ray Moore, SuperSport’s head of new media.
“We are especially excited to be streaming every match live, thus showcasing the exceptional young rugby talent to every corner of the globe. This exciting initiative done together with the IRB opens up new viewing opportunities to thousands of younger viewers who may not have had the chance to see many of the clashes that will be shown.”
The cumulative total of live coverage for the three-week event will exceed 300 hours for the first time.
SuperSport will produce live coverage of every match, which will be picked up by major TV companies such as NBC (USA), ESPN Star (Asia), Fox Sport (Australia), Eurosport, Sky Sports UK and even Bandsport in Brazil and Maori TV in New Zealand.
“The future stars of world rugby will be on show in the rich rugby heartland of Cape Town and Stellenbosch for 22 days, and the tournament provides fans around the world with the ability to see the next generation of Patrick Lambies, Sam Warburtons and Will Genias,” said IRB tournament director Philippe Bourdarias.
SuperSport commentator Ashwin Willemse, who is also an official ambassador for the Junior World Championship, believes this one may be the best yet.
“The local organisers have pulled out all stops and coach Dawie Theron has worked his players hard. I expect the standard to be exceptional and encourage everyone to take in as much as they can.”
South Africa’s challenge starts with a match against Ireland on Monday.

Still can’t see why Kitshoff is not
allowed to play for Breezes.
His earliest possible engagement will be
next Friday according to Dawie Theron.

Boertje,
What is your avatar?
It looks like a steak, a baked potatoe and a fork.
Is it?
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:05 am
Reply to Americano @ 12:42 am:
Nee wat… it’s a pitch-fork and farmer’s hat (as in Boertjie) if I’m not mistaken…
Reply to Kevin_rack @ 3:48 pm:
Surely Foxpsports is showing it… they damn well better be with their charges… going to be a cracker this year!

Wow…that was some rohrshach interpretation on my part Obviously I gotta eat!). Now I see it.
Thanks.

Reply to bryce_in_oz @ 3:05 am: I through mt tv out with the foxtel after the RWC debacle! So no tv since then so I have to watch on line.

June 2nd, 2012 at 10:06 am
Reply to Kevin_rack @ 7:22 am:

Thanks, Bryce.
Dawie had the same problem.
I’ll have to look for a 3D avatar.

Rumour has it that Spies is not HM’s
first choice 8, but Vermeulen is.
Maybe that’s why Spies was not made
captain.
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:59 pm
So who will skipper?
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Reply to DavidS @ 2:59 pm:
JDV?
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Eish! Don’t you guys read?
Fourie du Preez will be skipper.
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Reply to Boertjie @ 3:59 pm: I’m yet to see a credible source…
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:21 pm
Reply to bryce_in_oz @ 4:20 pm:
And why has he not been present at a single training run?
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Reply to bryce_in_oz @ 4:21 pm:
And the other news is that
Ruan Pienaar is not in the 32
according to our sauce.
Only Stormers in the 32 will be
Banana, Etzebeth and JdeV.
No Aplon, no De Jongh. Will surely
get the Cape Crowd to cry out.
Especially the Cape Spanish.

Reply to Boertjie @ 4:43 pm:
Cape Spanish going to be hysterical if your sauce is righT!
