[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 226852"] On the other side of the coin, the terrestrial channels know that rugby isn't as huge a draw as, say, a highlights program on lower division football so they won't give it a good dedicated bit of coverage. Remember back to when BBC used to show the Heineken cup final; Their coverage of the group and knockout stages was minimal to say the least and they showed NOTHING of the domestic season bar the Pilkington cup (in England at least, no idea about what BBC Wales had for the old Welsh premiership). Sky, although expensive, do give the paying punters a lot of rugby for their money and are only limited on the amount they're licensed to show by the RFU/PRL agreement of one game per week in the Premiership. Without them, most of us would never see the NPC, Currie Cup, Super 14, Challenge cup or 90% of the HEC. Only Eurosport are really any better with their Top 14 coverage. [/QUOTE]
