6 Nations

I hope the rumours of the rights going to TNT aren't true - this could be the last year of FTA 6 Nations. Which would be a huge blow to the sport imo.

From BBC article:

The BBC will provide live TV coverage, TV highlights and digital clips of the championship, including five matches involving Scotland and Wales each year.

ITV will broadcast 10 live games each season including every England fixture for the duration of the deal, which starts in 2026.

I'm trying to get my head round the permutations of this, does this mean we might not get Ireland vs France anymore?

It sounds like they're trying to make it sound like you don't get to see them all, but if it adds up to 15 games, then...?

Its just delineating by channel, no? 10 games on ITV and 5 on BBC. Yes you can watch them all but not on the same provider.

ITV have an anchor point around England and BBC Wales and Scotland.

Clearly it's newspeak decipherable only to lawyers (which probably took them 4 hours to draft)

Excellent point... it's been a long day.
