Quote ="KevW60349"Sky TV [according to reports in mainstream press are apparently favourites to land the RU 6 Nations contract.
They have put a £300 million bid in for the rights to Rugby Union six nations competition from 2022, even though it is supposedly protected by rights to view on terrestrial [non pay TV.
This does not sound very good news for Super League who are, i think negotiating a new contract with Sky for when the current one ends, is it next year ?
The current contract we have with Sky, is peanuts to what they are offering for Rugby Union's 6 Nations, which is just a 15 match competition.'"
The audience is far greater
