Sky Sports NZ launches Player Cam

On Sunday during the Blues v Hurricanes clash, Sky Sports NZ will launch their Player Cam where viewers can keep an eye  on one player for the duration of the match with accompanying referee and match audio. 

This will be run in conjunction with other initiatives the Sky and Super Rugby teams have been working on include mic’ing up side-lined players or coaches so we can talk to them during broadcast, in game interviews with assistant coaches and introducing a new MVP award – for the player who changes the match in a fundamental way, in addition to the MOTM award

Tex Teixeira, Sky’s Chief Content Officer says, “‘Never waste a crisis’ has been front and centre of our planning for a couple of months.  We’ve been working with our key sports partners on using the extraordinary circumstances to freshen up the way we deliver our favourite sports, on top of some of the great stuff we’d already introduced before the pandemic hit town.

“While we’re going to launch some new ideas this weekend with the Investec Super Rugby Aotearoa, there will be more down the track as more codes get back up, including the ANZ Premiership Netball and Sal’s NBL Showdown."
