Strong possibility this will be on Amazon Prime, they have apparently opened talks with the RFU to obtain the rights and can easily outbid Sky/BT

6N will still continue, wouldn't it? This is an extra comp to replace the autumn tours up there.

Looks like the Rugby Champs will be based out of Aussie - if I were the government here I would open up the south island and play the games there (the problem is bloody JAFAs travelling down to see the games)
I drink and I forget things.

Ahh yeah, think you’re right, I was getting confused thinking this was a replacement 6N but I guess that will still happens again next year

No, they don't. They do simultaneous broadcasts.

Comets is trying to be funny, I suppose, but he is reliably wrong about pretty much everything :roll:

amazon doesn;'t do "live" anything, they want to use the 8N as their guinea pig..just like Spark wanting the rights to the RWC last year, good luck with that.

not exclusively so its easy to find better streams, if they get exclusive rights to the 8N, it will be as hard as trying to find a Top14 live stream

That makes no sense.

"They don't do anything live" - incorrect, they do the football and the tennis live, with simultaneous streams
"Well they're not the only ones so others are better, so if they get exclusive rights I won't be able to find other streams" - those illegal streams aren't a commentary on Amazon

So to establish what we already knew: Comets doesn't know what he's talking about and Amazon do simultaneous live streams of the matches they broadcast for other sports
