I disagree with you disagreeing, it causes offence. I'm going to write an official letter of complaint to complain about you for daring not to agree with the disagreement

Broadening the topic, last night I was looking at the schedules for the Edinburgh v Sharks match.

I nearly fell off the settee when I saw Premier Sports 1 was starting the broadcast 35 mins before the start of the match. I tuned in about 10 mins before the start and to be fari, it was filled with reasonable chat.

However, if that had been a Welsh team v an SA team, the start would have been 5 mins before kick off.

Can anyone shed any light on why it's a bit CBA re the Premier preamble for Welsh home games, other than some all too predictable exceptions? I know it's different on S4C and BBCW.

With Premier showing the Champions Cup and Top14 matches, it's decent value as a subscriber and to have the streaming option too is ideal as you have a few more options for matches. The product, its commentators and summarisers, could and should often be a lot better however, it is decent value now, IMO.

A large basket of games without a doubt. Personally I have not subscribed for two years & frankly have not missed it much. Historically I would have always followed the Champions Cup games but the last few seasons most are pretty meaningless.

When the games are being shown on BBC or S4C, the Premier Sport coverage is minimal -5 minutes before kick off.

If the games are exclusively on Premier Sport, they have the full build up - about 30 mins or so.

I think that the Scottish coverage is always pretty good on PS and I think that the coverage overall is well worth the money - I watch quite a lot of the Top 14 matches too.
