Does anybody think that this will mean Premier Sports arrives on VM?

Lets just get the facts right first.
Its actually a chairman of the Rugby Parliamentary Group who just happens to be an MP, it is not coming from the MP as an MP, its coming from an MP as a Chairman of a Rugby Union Group.
It wont make any difference, thats like a TV Producer selling his content to Sky Atlantic and then saying "oh id like to see your channel on Virgin", unless they said "we wont sell you the rights unless you become available on Virgin" nothing is likely to happen.
The Rugby Parliamentary Group are just using the letters M & P to make the story appear to be a powerful message in the hope customers will get angry at VM for not making it available.
