"Make the most of it being free... Likely to go behind a pay wall from 2022 
If it’s on Prime that’s fine by me as I have it anyway, the lag and buffering can be a pain tho  "
I agree - The streaming option is not reliable enough.
Nothing worse than watching all the Scottish tries being interrupted by a spinning dial while my internet struggles...  |

"My understanding is the French will not join in due to their fear of COVID, thus a full Nations competition will not go ahead "
Money can’t catch COVID so the ffr have decided it’s safe to go ahead.

Growing up and even now the only Rugby I watch are the 5 Nations now 6 Nations and the World Cup having the fans and players belting out their national anthems you can see the pride and passion.This years 6 Nation will be different with no fans but still something to look forward to.Just a shame the pubs are shut as there is a lady here on Fabs in London that arranges a 6 Nations social. |

The way things are going pay walls are the least of our problems. I'm just waiting for someone to suggest socially distant scrummaging, lineouts, rucks and mauls... lol |

THat's why it's posted in The Lounge:
"The Lounge: The lounge is for general chat and discussion"

I thought Scotland and Wales home 6 nations games cannot go behind the paywall as they are on their country’s “crown jewels” list of sporting events....
So there will be some.... I wonder if the bbc for example will bid with rte for Ireland’s home games.....
So at best a sky sports would only get the french, Italian and English games..... and I don’t think sky would be that interested in Italy’s home tv rights |

The ffr doesn’t really have a leg to stand on since the french govt refused to give rugby an exemption so they had to cancel all the European club games.....
Unless France fancy playing 5 away games....... |

"Please, just some rugby, any rugby on a terrestrial channel! Even the Brixton Bloggers XV against Edinburgh Pipe Fiddlers. I am so desperate I will even watch rugby league, (but not football). "
Women’s 6 nations... or am I stretching it a bit.....
There is always S4C if you fancy rugby in Welsh... |

What you saying Fabio?
You reckon that’s what’ll happen?
I reckon the french side would revel in playing five away games, they’re that good currently I do think they’d win at least four. |

"I would have been at the opening match, with my daughter ... a weekend in Roma (così triste) "
Well since the lions tour looks like a long shot... there was talk of bringing it here and let the saffers quarantine here before a potential 4 test series (1 in each country..... and let them play the countries A teams for midweek warm ups)
10 game tour....... those 8 plus a barbarians game and queens XV...... I think that would work |

All the french government have allowed at the moment is for the french team to travel to Italy for game 1..... but everything else is going to be up in the air...
I think they will start... but you would have to hold a gun to my head if you asked me if they are going to finish....
Remember squads this year are limited to 28 players... no players will be allowed in to cover injuries.... if a squad has 1 or 2 cases before a game, I think everyone is going to get jittery |

Might be wrong on this, and as I hate the idea of the rugby banter being tainted by political chatter, I'll not stay too long on this - broadcasting is reserved to Westminster. March 2020 DCMS select committee recommended 6N be added to the Crown Jewels list. Government rejected the motion.

"They don't want football players hugging after a goal but they will allow rugby? That doesn't make sense
Maybe because the rugby lads can follow simple isolation rules? Just saying ?? "
. Did you see James Maddison celebration when he scored last night for Leicester he followed the isolation rules. |

Woo hoo !!!! It is all upon us... been practising my ooooooft, so now I have a breathless one (I could be crass and call it the covid one, but I shall save my crassness for another day and or topic) I have the melting wobbly one and I have the ooooooft roar... I feel I am ready! |

"Sad as we were meant to be in Roma for the opening game  "
This time last year I had just arrived in Scotland to be surprised with hospitality tickets to Murrayfield for the Calcutta cup... massive difference this year, but selfishly so bloody happy it's actually going ahead |

I was so looking forward to this being the start of the run towards the lions tour... but I a feeling “meh” about it all.....
Looks like the lions tour is going to be behind closed doors if it takes place... although there have been two wild suggestions to play the series here if you could get crowds in... or the Australia rugby union have offered to hold the series there... although no fans from either could travel, there are enough lions and saffers in oz to make it work crowd wise.... also both teams would need to quarantine for 14 days on arrival in oz... |

I read about the oz idea this morning and think it makes sense.
As you said, plenty of fans from both camps in oz and already well established as a leading authority on how to deal with major sporting events in the current climate.
I love watching early morning test rugby too, great excuse to crack open a tinny before 9am!
