[QUOTE="ecks tartan army, post: 137844"] Well I know last time round the Ireland games that were on ITV2 were shown on UTV so I'd imagine it'll be the same this time round with the various regions but you're probably just as well to email them and see what the story is. [/b][/quote] that was then though, another 4 years have past and they now care less about the different regions than ever. (only something like 2% of the BBC's budget last year was spent in Scotland - the second biggest country in the UK - yet England has about 10 seperate regions) If I have to go to the pub to watch it then so be it, I wont complain, but id rather have the option. did the BBC not bid for the rights atall? surprising considering they have ALWAYS (as far as i can remember) held the 6 Nations rights! and they normally show all the November/August tests (excluding England now). Mind you, there probably saving up a ludicrous amount to buy back the Prem. rights. [/QUOTE]
