The South African Rugby Union (SARU) on Friday welcomed the return of Springbok Test matches to free-to-air television, following a deal brokered between rights holder SuperSport and e.tv.<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s Test against England in the Castle Incoming Tour will be broadcast live on SuperSport 1 and SuperSport HD at 17h00 and will be broadcast \u201cdelayed-live\u201d 19h00 on SS4 and at 22h00 on e.tv.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to say that all South African rugby supporters will be able to see all 80 minutes of tomorrow\u2019s Test match on either satellite or free-to-air TV,\u201d said Jurie Roux, CEO of SARU.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been working tirelessly with our partners SuperSport behind the scenes in an attempt to ensure that the game was available on TV to all supporters. We\u2019re delighted that e-tv have taken up the option.\u201d<\/p>\n
The arrangement was made following the SABC\u2019s decision not to take up the rights. They said they only wished to broadcast sporting events to which they held the live rights. Commentary on SABC radio will continue as per normal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was very disappointing that some supporters were unable to see the first Test but we have been able to find a solution in short space of time and trust that we will be able to continue to make Springbok Tests available on free-to-air television,\u201d said Roux.<\/p>\n
The third and final Test in the series takes place in Port Elizabeth on 23 June.<\/p>\n
