Teamtalk.com Launches Rugby Service

Teamtalk.com Group plc ("Teamtalk.com"), the UK's most popular online
sports service, announces the launch of its rugby league and rugby union
service.  It is the only web site offering full coverage of both codes of
rugby.

Developed in-house on the same format as its successful football web-site,
the rugby service provides fans with original news on each club in the
Tetley Super League and the Allied Dunbar Premier League.  In addition, the
web site provides rugby fans with match coverage, detailed statistical
information and community through its "Your Say" section.

Teamtalk.com is providing its rugby service to, amongst others:

*  Yahoo! UK & Ireland where its users can access Teamtalk.com's service
   for both codes of rugby, in addition to its football content.  Yahoo!
   UK & Ireland has developed a new area for rugby league to take
   Teamtalk.com's content.
*  BT Cellnet where subscribers can access instant mobile information via
   its Infotouch SMS product, as well as via its Genie WAP service.
   Teamtalk.com is a provider of rugby, football and racing content to
   Infotouch and G-Infotext (part of BT Cellnet's Genie service).

Commenting on this development, Bill Wilson, Chief Executive of
Teamtalk.com, said:

"Part of our stated growth strategy is to build our online sports content -
this is yet another clear step along that path.  Teamtalk.com's policy of
providing regularly updated, original news content on a club-by-club basis
has proved incredibly popular with football fans and I'm sure it will be
equally successful with rugby."
