[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 965258, member: 74121"] Too early to say what the implications might be, other than live games not being on FTA. There are no 'Crown Jewels' in UK sport these days really that are guaranteed being FTA. I suspect that it does likely provide further counterweight against World Rugby's ambitions with the World League (i.e. you can stick a fork in any prospect of change to the 6N lineup). It probably also explains the reticence of those unions to explore other options as they knew this potential pot of gold was within their grasp. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush etc. If they are buying a stake in the 6N and multiple European leagues then I really fear for Tier2 involvement in the Challenge Cup as well. Hopefully, this is all needless pessimism. [/QUOTE]
