Quote ="Asgardian13"Fine sentiments, but impossible. Any 'huge backers' out there would be looking for a subscription TV model to make money, as terrestrial commercial TV is in an adverting downturn so bad they are losing money. We can always hope that the RFU gets too greedy for the Beeb, leaving them courting RL as their only rugby option. I think we'll have to be happy with the Challenge Cup on the Beeb for now - we have only to wait for the weekend to see what this year's coverage is like.'"

The Six Nations is one of the protected species. Is there another RU competition covered on the BBC?
