[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 343844, member: 20605"] I find it extraordinary that only one match used to be broadcast on TV each week when Sky had exclusive rights to the Premiership, and even now with ESPN on board, only half the premiership matches each weekend will be broadcast This is certainly at variance to the way things are done here... all 94 Super 14 and all 94 ITM cup matches are broadcast live every season. Even when the occasional occurrence of two matches being played at the same time takes place, one is live on Sky Sport 1, and the other is live on either The Rugby Channel or Sky Sport 2, then those channels usually swap matches for a delayed broadcast. Comparing the latest round of the Premiership with the ITM Cup, it appears the latter had bigger crowds last weekend. Unusual to say the least. [/QUOTE]
