[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 138267"] For the last damn time: ITV have the rights to the Rugby World Cup! (in the UK) We can all step back from threatening to drive 200 miles for a pub that has Sky! The BBC have always had Six Nations coverage apart from the late 1990s when the RFU sold their England games to Sky. This then ended in the other unions threatening to either boycott or eject England from the competition and with the RFU agreeing to let TV rights be negotiated by all the Unions rather than just individually. Obviously, because all the other Unions aren't total greedy little idiots who just want to claw every single penny out of the game if they could, all the state broadcasters got the deal for the rights and Sky was shut out.
