Fijians will not miss out on international rugby Tests and matches from this weekend, thanks to Sky Pacific. The company yesterday announced that it would exclusively carry live telecasts of ” … all Flying Fijians Test matches in the Autumn Nations Series”.
Sky Pacific kick-starts the sporting month this weekend with the highly anticipated Hong Kong Sevens tournament – live and exclusive, said Digicel Fiji chief executive officer Farid Mohammed.
“Sky Pacific will broadcast all matches – live and commercial free, of the HSBC Hong Kong Sevens which has a cult following in the country this weekend with action starting on Friday at 7:40pm until the cup final at 11pm on Sunday,” he said.
“Customers are advised to reconnect now to watch the best of international rugby in both codes. For more information, visit the Digicel Fiji Facebook page or www.digicelfiji.com.”
The company had included live telecasts of the two Flying Fijians Tests in the coming weekends when Fiji meets Scotland at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Sunday morning (1am) and world No.1 Ireland in Dublin next Sunday morning.
The month will involve 20 epic matches spanning over four thrilling weekends this month – all available only on Sky Pacific, Mohammed said.
“There are standout clashes every weekend with Southern Hemisphere heavyweights New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina and Australia aiming to beat the best of the Six Nations teams on home turf.
“Visiting teams including the Flying Fijians, Manu Samoa, Georgia and Japan will also get their chance to take on Europe’s best sides.
“November is the month for great sporting events across the world, and to have the Autumn Nations Series live on Sky Pacific will bring so much excitement to our rugby loving customers.”
