[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 893452, member: 20956"] I might be being negative, but that's because (extra promotion or not) I just feel that putting Welsh regional rugby behind a paywall will do more harm than good in Wales, especially as let's face it, large chunks of the Welsh rugby heartlands aren't exactly high income areas, so it's certainly not great on that front. A lot for me will depend on the fate of the Welsh language coverage as well - S4C's coverage in Welsh is great and it'd be a big loss to us Welsh speakers if that goes. Hopefully it'll be a similar agreement to what they had with Sky - show a decent chunk of the regional games with only Welsh commentary and no "red button for English" option. [/QUOTE]
