Show Notes
Forget switching on the TV, this weekend TikTok will have your rugby fix.
The Women’s Super Rugby Aupiki Final is kicking off this Saturday and due to a partnership between 2Degrees, Sky, and Tiktok, the social media app will be broadcasting it live.
The game between the Blues and Chiefs Manawa will be shot vertically by Sky and have its own presenters and commentary team.
Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, one of the commentators for the game, told Mike Hosking that it’s set up an amazing opportunity for rugby and women’s rugby to be accessible across not only New Zealand, but the entire world.
She said that if they can get the big dogs doing this sort of stuff, it will be an amazing development for the sport.
