Require full coverage of 6 Nations Rugby be offered to free-to-air broadcasters

Petition Details

The Government must add the Six Nations Rugby Tournament to the list of Group A protected “Crown Jewel” sporting events that means full live coverage must be offered to the main free-to-air terrestrial broadcasters on “fair and reasonable terms”.

Additional Information

This tournament means so much to the people of the United Kingdom, creating sporting unity between the peoples of the different countries that make up the UK. This is a joyous occasion that is enjoyed without rancour or bad feeling. The ability to attend these games is limited due to it’s extremely high popularity and limited tickets, but those who are unable to attend due to infirmity, lack of finances or other condition should be able enjoy the event from the comfort of their own homes. When my national team is playing, I should be able to watch it free of charge.
