As part of the deal, video highlights of rugby matches will be available to all Yahoo! customers via the www.rfu.tv and www.premier-rugby.tv websites.
"This is the first time we have offered our audience interactive rugby highlights delivered in this way," said James Bilefield, director of products and services at Yahoo! UK & Ireland.
"Consequently, it is an important relationship for Yahoo!, as we believe that this is a possible way that sport on the internet will develop in the future. With the continued roll-out of broadband services, this clearly becomes an increasingly attractive proposition for users.
