TSN to broadcast Super Rugby in Canada

Canadian viewers will be able to watch follow their favorite Super Rugby team after all. As of last week no broadcaster had acquired the rights to show the games in Canada. As first revealed by Patrick Johnston of The Province, TSN has now replaced Sportsnet as the place to watch the popular Southern Hemisphere competition, and it appears they will live broadcast the season in its entirety, but with a caveat. The games will be shown exclusively on TSN Go, the company’s broadband streaming channel.

TSN has published a schedule for the first four rounds on their website but there are several time errors which have been corrected below. As of now it’s unclear whether the matches will be archived.

EDIT: TSN has now confirmed that the games will not be archived.
