There is already a package of 24 games for streaming - currently Amazon paid very little to have the exclusive rights to these 2 rounds of games.

I would only expect the same in the next deal, if DAZN are coming in then it would have a huge inflationary effect on that package - I seriously doubt there would be another package for streamers at this point.

However, if a streamer wants more they could always bid for one of the traditional packages.

As for the 6 Nations, I would expect changes to its level which would mean it could only be on Free to Air TV. (Their was uproar before when England home games were on sky - the RFU soon backed off). If it is allowed to be on Pay TV expect Sky or BT to come in with a sizeable bid for most games with possibility of 1 game a round being on Free to Air TV.
