But while the Six-Nations have traditionally been bundled and sold FTA, the November series have had some messy arrangements - there'd be no harm done by those being collectively sold. I'm in two minds whether the home nations should be on FTA or if them going to pay is justifiable for the increased rights income.

BT confirmed as continuing their coverage of Premiership Rugby - fee is less than CVC/Prem Rugby rejected in February - as a result of Covid I would imagine
On the whole I would agree with your comments re BT coverage, the caveat I would like to see BT setting the games up on extra in a way they can be recorded.
