Starts making it look like a viable option with some reasonable value for rugby fans there.

I find there coverage and the quality of streaming and casting worse than BT sports. Some of the same presenters but with poorer direction and more bias to Leinster and London teams. A really poor platform technically. Their help is all about your internet speed not their technical quality!

I do think Sky’s coverage was better than BT/TNT.

Amazon’s coverage of the AIs was truly dire so that’s no loss.

As a Virgin customer I find the restricted option that TNT give is poor. Red button options mess up being able to record matches they otherwise show on their 5th channel for Sky & Discovery + customers

Those that think Skys coverage was better must have forgotten about the tag team that was Harrison and Barnes.

All a matter of opinion for me TNT is streets ahead of Sky

If you sign up for TNT sports, can you not watch every match on the Discovery+ app on your TV? No need to record anything as all games are available to replay.

No red button required.

My memory of the Sky coverage of the Premiership and Europe was that each game was squeezed into the smallest time slot that they could (often so that they could devote the maximum time possible to the great God football) and that more time was spent on "coming up on Sky Sports" than on analysis by pundits and interviews with players or coaches (not that you usually even got any post-match interviews). I felt that it was so poor and "expensive" (I wasn't interested in any of the other sports that they broadcast) that I stopped subscribing. The initial BT coverage of games and Rugby Tonight blew the Sky offerings out of the water. While the replacements for Rugby Tonight have been poor, the match coverage is still far superior in amount and general content (ignoring individual dislike of pundits such as Dayglo 😉).

For me Dayglo is much better in the studio than pitch side as a pundit

I like his quiz show The Bridge, too

I enjoy Dayglo as a pundit. He’s the Saruman to Jonny W’s Bilbo Baggins. I would prefer to not see him pop up in a towel anymore though.
