Rugby Moves to BT

[GB72]

I am cautiously optimistic at the news that BT have the rights to club rugby from next year for the forseeable future.

Whilst I like watching golf, cricket and a bit of football, my Sky Sports subscription is there mainly for rugby union. Hopefully, as long as BT keep the cost reasonable, I can ditch my massively expensive Sky Sports subscription and just get BT. Hopefully, happy days.

what about the internationals, autumn internationals, lions tours etc ?? are they going aswell ?

 

[GB72]

BBC have the 6 Nations and I know enough people who I can visit to see the Autumn Internationals if they are on Sky. Not sure that they are though, BBC tend to have home internationals.

I was just checking from my point of view. I'm not really fussed about club rugby, I tend to watch the highlights on ITV4.

I'd be slightly annoyed if the Autumn England games went as I've just signed up to an 18 month contract

I cannot recall which channel the Autmun internationals are on now. My wedding aniversary falls in mid November so I rarely get to watch them.

I just checked, BT have domestic rugby only. looks like Stuart Barnes & Dewi Morris may be looking for new employment

Took her to England v Italy for our first valentines day together.

Not sad to see the back of Barnes, he has always hated the Tigers.

He's not ALL bad then? Although he is from Barf.

competiton in the market supposedly good for the consumer, actually means the consumer has to pay for yet another channel if they want to follow sport (add it onto sky sports and espn)
