New Zealand Rugby became the platform's first client, providing a new digital home for the All Blacks and [Black Ferns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feather-black-locations). The platform delivers live and on-demand video, editorial content, real-time data and commerce through a single login across mobile, desktop and connected TV. New Zealand Rugby's new hub, available at allblacks.com and blackferns.com, features a live match center with real-time statistics, original behind-the-scenes content and direct streaming in markets without broadcast partners. The platform builds on NZR+, which previously attracted nearly 450,000 registered fans and helped double the All Blacks' [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elisa) audience to 1.35 million. Deltatre shows how unified digital platforms are helping sports organizations build deeper direct-to-fan relationships across content, commerce and live experiences.
