The Nine owned streaming platform Stan has become the new home of Premiership Rugby.
Under a newly announced broadcast deal, 130+ matches of England’s domestic competition will be streamed live and exclusive on Stan Sport.
This latest announcement comes after Stan Sport confirmed earlier this week it had secured a three year deal for the US Open Tennis Tournament.
The Premiership Rugby competition features several big-name Australians applying their trade in the UK, including London Irish players Nick Phipps, Rob Simmons, Curtis Rona and Adam Coleman. Former Queensland Reds playmaker Bryce Hegarty will also make his debut for Leicester.
Fijian international and former Parramatta Eels player, Semi Radrardra, will also be familiar to Australian fans when he lines up in the backline for Bristol.
Stan Sport’s coverage commences immediately this weekend with Round 1 action, including the Bristol Bears taking on Saracens while last year’s champions Harlequins meet Newcastle.
