According to Bill Fredrickson, President of Tait Radio Communications in North America,
Tait is honoured to be involved with the Women's Rugby World Cup as the Official Radio

"Rugby is to New Zealanders as baseball or football is to folks here in North America. Tait, being a New Zealand based company, has a strong connection with the game of rugby.

"Women's rugby, like many other professional women's sports, is becoming an increasingly popular sporting event and will be broadcast across Canada and many other parts of the world over the 18-day period.
