Did the welsh players start their strike in November?
Still some threat of it apparently starting next week or so I think.
Hopefully nothing comes of it.Whoosh

Good that we (NZers) will get some rugby to watch on Waitangi Day morning. Thursday night seems to be an odd day to start the tournament.
I heard it’s so it doesn’t clash with the winter Olympic opening ceremony.
The French broadcaster has rights to both so scheduled the game to Thursday so as not to clash. -

No. Just fuck off.
Could cram about 5 or 6 in before a scrum is set, to be fair.

Probably helps to keep it free-to-air, to be fair... Presume you'd prefer this to having to pay for TNT or Premier Sports.

It was more the ads while scrums were being set which triggered me. Next it will be sponsor messages as the hooker dries the ball for a lineout throw.

As long as they don't miss any action

British law means that certain sports events are "crown jewels" and have to be on free to air. The Six Nations is one.

I'm getting old and senile, but I'm sure the England 6N have always been on terrestrial TV. Its been the Summer tour and the AIs which were on Sky.
