ESPN has acquired Scrum.com, the rugby union news, scores and information portal, from privately-owned Scrum Limited, boosting ESPN’s online presence into another top non-US sport.
ESPN already owns leading soccer/cricket news and information sites ESPNsoccernet.com and Cricinfo.
Other rugby rights held by ESPN include the IRB U21 and U19 World Championships and Women’s Rugby World Cup in Latin America. It also holds rights to the Argentine URBA Championships until 2011 and all Argentina’s national team matches in Latin America until the end of next year. Scrum.com’s three markets are the UK, USA and Australia.
