Absolutely delighted by the news that ITV has agreed a deal with Premiership Rugby to show a number of live matches as well as a weekly Premiership highlights programme.
With 5 live matches to be broadcast in what remains of this season, plus 7 live matches to be shown in each of the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, this is certainly a step in the right direction in terms of broadening the appeal of domestic rugby in England.

That's a major step forward and not before time - it's astonishing, really, that Premiership Rugby have not done this before.
Well done to all involved...
