IRB to provide live streaming of World Cup Sevens

The International Rugby Board governing body has announced it will stream live coverage of the 2013 World Cup Sevens tournament in its entirety.

The event, which takes place in Moscow from June 28-30, will be afforded free and live streaming via its official website – www.rwcsevens.com.

It is the first time that the IRB has offered free extensive live coverage of its top sevens event in a strategy to take the sport to new audiences around the world, although geo-blocking will be in effect in certain territories.

The Moscow tournament will be the final Rugby World Cup Sevens before rugby returns to the Olympic Games at Rio 2016.
