Sky seem to be dropping rugby union following their exit from Autumn Internationals, now Super Rugby (hadn't realised it was time for a re-start).

Sky sports is becoming an expensive luxury - only have Premier League football and Super League (rugby league) that I want to watch.

Might ditch it and just keep BT Sports, possibly with SS Prem League channel.

Last minute negotiations seem to be the in thing with the more minor sports - as per India v England cricket tour.
