England Women's Rugby Six Nations  matches LIVE on the Web

England Women's Rugby moving into cyberspace, boldly going where none have gone before!  England Women are leading the way with this new venture, which is an excellent idea if you can't get to the various matches.

The Rugby Football Union for Women is pleased to announce that England rugby fans will be able to watch all of their team’s matches during the 2007 RBS Women’s Six Nations Championship LIVE on a dedicated channel on www.247.TV

Rosie Williams, Managing Director of the RFUW, said: "The RFUW is really pleased to be working with www.247.TV to realise this idea of broadcasting matches from the RBS Women’s Six Nations Championship live through the internet.

“The RFUW first teamed up with www.247.TV for the IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup last year and the service proved very successful and popular with rugby fans all across the world. This latest link-up is great news for our supporters.

“Additionally webcasting will also help generate interest from the wider rugby public in rugby and could indeed prove to be an alternative for many minority sports to access live broadcasting.”

247.TV’s Sales & Marketing Director, Fiona Harrison, added: “We are delighted to be working with the RFUW, building on our successful work together in partnership with the IRB last summer when all Women’s Rugby World Cup matches were broadcast live by 247.tv.

“For the 2007 RBS Women’s Six Nations viewers from all around the world will be able to access full match live video and audio coverage for just a few pounds and can watch replays and downloads on-demand on a delayed basis from the comfort of their own homes. Payment can be made with a credit card, debit card or PayPal. The small viewing fee means there is no restriction on the number of viewers that can access the service and we can deliver a high quality service for rugby fans”.

Match coverage includes commentary, live scoreboard and live chat in the www.247.tv rugby chat room, where viewers can exchange views and interact with the commentary team. It’s the next best thing to being there and the only way to see every England Women’s RBS Six Nations matches live as they happen.
