Yes, probably a poor example. But there are some channels tha
leave one wondering just how many viewers they get.

they feel it's worth more to them not to have a highlights show,
then they're likely to get their way. For example, Premier
Sports are clearly using the rugby and other sports to force
people into subscribing where in the past they may have ignored
the channel.

featuring all sorts of rugby content - RugbyPassTV, which is
World Rugby's own service. It has a lot of women's international
content and Tier 2 games, and I assume that the long term aim
could well be to get higher profile games on it and make it a
paid subscription service.

there will always be a mix of dedicated channels for die hard
fans and higher value matches sold to the highest bidder, unless
rugby somehow reaches a point of soccer-like popularity.

Is Rugby Pass now available to UK subscribers? At one time it
wasn't.

Yes it is.
It used to be geo-locked when they showed Premiership games.
But, now it is open to all.
Also, there is
HTML https://www.rugbyeurope.eu/rugby-europe-tv
which
is also free.
Both Rugbypass and Rugby Europe TV have a lot of 7s coverage.

There were initially some licencing issues that meant that
RugbyPassTV wouldn't show some games on certain brands of tv,
even over an HDMI cable from a device that could show them, but
that seems to have been fixed now.

Premier Sports dont have an app for Samsung and accessing their
content on my Samsung Smart tv via their website is a disaster.
This weekend I will see how Premier Sports works via Amazon...

Sorry to hear that. We access it via Sky and that works, but
haven't tried it via an app on the tv yet.

I've mentioned it before, but it's worth saying again:
[quote]You might want to invest in a Chromecast
HTML https://store.google.com/gb/category/streaming?hl=en-GB.
It
supports the Premier Sports app, along with pretty much every
other streaming service & UK Broadcaster like BBC, ITV, Channel
4 (recently added), Netflix, Amazon Prime, TNT/Discovery+,
Paramount, YouTube, Premier Sports, RugbyPass, etc. The more
expensive version is the newer device, released this autumn so
will have a longer lifetime, but the older version is still
good. It's worth noting the newer device doesn't *yet* support
BBC iPlayer, but that's expected shortly. To be honest, I use
mine pretty much every day, & prefer it to the TV's native app
platform. You can have pretty much everything from the one menu
screen.
