[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 171081"] I thought RT-Eh, BBC, etc were collectively bargaining with the Unions...or was it the other way round... I wouldn't worry, if the IRFU sold their rights to Setanta, you'd have a similar crisis as when the RFU sold their Six Nations rights to Sky back in the late 1990s (i.e. the other Unions ostracising the RFU until they agreed to switch back to the BBC after the end of the deal with Sky). As long as the French and Italian unions insist on having their Six Nations on free-to-air then I wouldn't worry. Also, if Silvio Berlusconi becomes PM of Italy again count the idea of the Six Nations moving onto [i]any[/i] pay to view broadcaster an impossibility. [/QUOTE]
