[QUOTE="Amiga500, post: 893436, member: 56767"] Looks like the Beeb can't afford the mighty Pro14 coverage. Premier Sports are supposedly the ones who have outbid them. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. RTÉ losing the coverage down south hasn't worked well for me - I used to be able to see the other matches much easier. While some will point to greater cash in the TV contract - that is not the only source of cash in the sport. - If sponsors are having less exposure, why should they pay the same money? - If the league isn't well covered, will at the gate ticket sales, then after that season ticket sales decline? - If the games aren't on accessible TV, does the sport lose mindshare?
