The inaugural season of World Series Rugby starts this Friday night with the Western Force taking on Fiji. The tournament will consist of nine games run over a three month period. This is The Roar’s full World Series Rugby live stream guide so you don’t miss a match.
World Series Rugby is the idea of Australian billionaire Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest, reviving former Super Rugby franchise the Western Force.
Forrest wants this to be the start of a new competition branching away from Super Rugby, where they will take on teams from Asia and use the competition to trial rules World Rugby want to experiment with.
World Series Rugby will be broadcast by Fox Sports and can also be live streamed. The opening game of the season on Friday, May 4 6:30pm (AWST) will pit the local Western Force against Fiji at nib Stadium in Perth.
