On the eve of the 2023 Rugby World Cup, SuperSport originally revealed that they had failed to reach an agreement with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) to televise the event.
However, some social media talk on Thursday hinted that a compromise was close to being reached, and SABC may get permission to broadcast seven of the Rugby World Cup games.
It’s now been confirmed that SABC will be able to broadcast as many as 16 matches, including the opening ceremony and opening match, as well as every match that the Springboks participate in.
Furthermore, two quarter-final matches, one semi-final, the bronze final, the final and the closing ceremony will all be shown.
