Bad news for Scotland if this is the case
Less People would see the games though which irfu and other unions fear. Having 5 saturdays with 2 or 3 games throughout February and march on free to air channels is great for game. Far less people wpuldntune in if on tnt or another pay channel
I get that. I'd just prefer TNT because I think they do a better job and I'll be watching no matter what channel it's on.
Like if we can avoid any rugby coverage at all from hugh cahill bernard jackman and few otgers with rte its a good day but still will take free to air and its greater numbers of eyeballs for many of our iriah games. The sport needs the higher viewing figures
As soon as the 6N goes behind a pay wall, it'll go the way of cricket.
Cricket is still popular as ever in India and Australia. It was never very popular here.
I obviously meant it in terms of the UK and Irish markets. Once any sport goes behind a pay wall it loses a lot of casual fans and exposure. All for a quick buck.
Roof closed in the principality…
England have a serious team for this.
Looked like hands on the ground for the English jackle penalty. TMO needs to be able to come in for those
Murray has some serious acceleration. Could definitely see him making the plane to Aus
Shite call there by the ref. Williams didn't impact that play at all.
I thought that was a try for Wales. Would you guys think differently?
Dunno, he goes to tackle him before he has actually gathered the ball
I think it is fair enough to cancel the try
Serious pass, serious finish
he's reacting to ball. In real time, that's the action of a second. Curry was never catching that ball, and Williams only impacts him after it had bounced off his hands already.
Fin Smith is a serious operator.
Itoje should be carded for that
Thought it was a bit dangerous too.
Imagine having the ref shout "use it" at you at the apex of your pass, it would irritate the **** out of me.
Cowan dickie tackle was awesome there
Blair Murray is a shining light in a very dull team
England should be getting a YC here
Ref ought to given a penalty try there. Ridiculous England haven't been carded.
That looked like it should have been a penalty try from the maul and then another couple of pens conceeded before the try
Penalty try and yellow card there? taking a maul down 2 m from the tryline.
Wales don't help themselves. Poor exit from the try and just invited England on to them and another try
I have a feeling england will win the tournament now and it’ll be because we fecking let them score two late tries against us.
Chandler Cunningham south, only 21/22… big future…
I remember he joined London Irish, from New Zealand? or SOuth Africa?
I better have a google.
failing to get any bonus points vs wales or france pissed this tournament away. We're rightly going to come third, been very poor over all
England absolutely destroying Wales
