       I read that it would only happen for matches that weren't being
       shown on BT Sport already.
       So - you would still need BT sport

       Well, it depends on the frequency of Quins on either and the
       cost. Although I'll probably carry on being lazy, keep BT Sport
       and pay for extra Quins games. 🙁

       If PPV follows other sports it could cost more for single
       matches than a month subscription to BT sport.

       I'll believe this when it's formally announced, not before. BT
       secured "exclusive rights" to the Premiership in December last
       year (The Beeb report HERE
  HTML https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/55369462
       is where I
       found the "exclusive" part). They will no doubt sub-sell a
       handful of games to CH5 as they've done in previous years as a
       way to try to spread the costs & as a hook to try to lure more
       paying viewers.
       Last year/season was an anomaly in terms of showing all the
       games. BT were no doubt happy to have something to show & clubs
       could keep supporters on side by offering free passes to the
       streams to STHs. This doesn't make financial sense now fans are
       allowed back in grounds either for BT or for clubs. PRL would
       have to alter their contract with BT to now allow streams of
       games not being covered, alongside the extra financial cost of
       full broadcast crews if they were to cover the games properly.
       That's not cheap and PRL/the clubs are still counting the cost
       of not having matchday revenues from last season.
       That's not to say that when the rights are next up for
       negotiation we won't potentially see someone like Amazon take an
       interest. They already have the AIs following last seasons
       Autumn Nations Cup & seem eager. That would allow CVC to sell a
       global package worth a lot more than just the UK/Ireland package
       at the moment so would be a target for them. I fully expect that
       the rights then could easily move to an online platform,
       particularly if CVC can package them with AI rights, the Pro16
       (can't remember the new name for that!) etc.

       An additional charge for supporting Worcester, if the choices of
       matches being broadcast so far is anything to go by.
