Prime please :D.

I quite enjoyed their AI coverage, their commentators actually seemed to enjoy rugby, makes the games more enjoyable when the commentators are having fun and describing whats going on. Rather than moaning about "another scrum" or "another kick", tell us why, make it interesting, explain, be excited and draw the crowd in!

Well yeah, that reads like a Scotland team sheet

<insert joke about England's Nigerian captain here>.

Shows how well we're doing on that front if someone would have to resort to claiming a lad born in Camden and who's lived in England his whole life is in any way a poach.

My Discovery + that I use to watch cycling is set to go from £7 p/m to £31 p/m thanks to the fucks. I get football, cricket, Gallagher Prem and tennis in return. I have zero interest in all of the above, but can no longer watch sporting events that I do like at a reasonable price.

I’ve friends that got IPTV and are very happy with it

Not in the 6 Nations old bean.

Not yet.
Our foot is in the door though

Can we not pollute the tournament thread with these crap wind up attempts?

If you really must, just bump the existing thread.

Match is live on BBC Red Button 1, & Virgin 2 in Ireland

Usually much more entertaining than the main event match

I fecking hate that they replay incidents again & again in the Stadium.

Yeah; & if England continue to do dumb shit like this latest YC, they'll need it to keep 12 players on the pitch

England's discipline has not been good.
