Saudi-backed service DAZN has reportedly entered the battle for New Zealand Rugby's broadcasting rights.
The national body are yet to come to a new agreement with incumbent rightsholders Sky - who are understood to have submitted a smaller bid than their current deal.
NZ Herald rugby writer Gregor Paul initially broke the story, and he says NZR felt the need to reach out to a potential bidder who could offer more.
He suspects DAZN could be looking to acquire Sky as well - as it's currently in the process of buying Australia's Foxtel.
