New Zealand and Australia expressed disappointment at the South African Rugby Union’s decision to sell of some of its TV rights previously included in the Sanzar (South African/New Zealand/Australia) agreement.
The South Africa Rugby Union has agreed a local deal for the TV rights to its home tests and domestic Currie Cup competition with pay broadcaster SuperSport. The five-year deal stretches beyond the current Sanzar agreement with broadcasting giant News Corporation that runs out in 2010.
The deal means that New Zealand and Australia won't receive revenue from those matches that were previously part of the Sanzar "pool".
