"We own the night"

Correct Lefty.

As I said, that's how it is. Not much point complaining about it, when you consider what the alternative is. you can't have your cake and eat it.

im glad myself but no doubt most will be annoyed

What's wrong with all that. I loved watching Rugby in the 80's and 90's as much as I do now.

Well I hate Sky and Murdoch, I don't subscribe to it, and I wouldn't have a problem with any of that other than a return to winter rugby (I enjoy my afternoons in the sun at the match!) I think it's fair to say winter rugby wouldn't return if Sky weren't involved, and in return I imagine we'd get a lot more Sunday afternoon games as opposed to the Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday fixture list that we have now with short notice changes that I don't think any of us would miss. So yeah, shove your money indeed.
