[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1135664, member: 60236"] I’ve just seen that Viaplay are pulling out of the UK and will be completely out by the end of 2023. That puts a bit of uncertainty around watching the games in the UK. Viaplay/Premier Sports was flawed, but it was great having all the games to watch every week as well as the Challenge Cup games. I don’t think they ever put any effort into advertising really, they could have done a lot better to build up their subscribers but I get their desire to consolidate into their core markets. Unsure what this means for the URC coverage though. I don’t think Sky will pick it up, and in general think it would be terrible for URC given their tendency to only show a few games. I think it would be the same thing for BT given how they treat the Premiership. Either way feels like I’m going to have a lot more pain trying to watch the Stormers every weekend. Some form of URC.tv subscription may be the best option. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theoffsideline.com/viaplay-urc/?amp=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
