[Closed] Six Nations Rugby - Iplayer

They usually are on iPlayer. I think the 6N is a protected event isn't it?

all games live on BBC TV, r5, internet, and iplayer

it's not that protected as this is the first year for a while the england games are live on BBC

there go my weekends 🙂

sporting events are often not repeated is this correct.

All depends on the agreement with the rights holders. MoTD for instance is repeated but only about 4 days after being shown live.

AFAIK the 6N has always been available on the iPlayer the same day.

Permission to get exited requested.

I don't think that's right - Sky have the rights to all other England games (autumn internationals, for example), but I'm fairly sure that all the 6N games have been live on the BBC for as long as I can remember

There was a big hooha about it maybe.. 10 years ago? The england home games weren't on BBC. I think they did change that though.

Agreed. I've watched it on iPlayer down here in Oz for the two years I've been here. Though prior to then I was always in the pub to watch, so it might have been on Sky a few years back

maybe I'm mixed up with the autumn internationals - anyway who cares!
