4. Expensive
A lot of rugby fans struggle to get to Six Nations matches due to the high price of tickets. Sky Sports can be £44 per month, which would be far too expensive for a number of fans.
5. People who know rugby think it’s a TERRIBLE idea
England legends Martin Johnson and Brian Moore have both blasted the plan.

6. Why change things that work?
The Six Nations works and people love it. They love the tradition of it.
The Team Voted The Greatest Six Nations XV Of All Time By Fans
With the 2020 Six Nations in full swing, we wanted to know what you think the best-ever combined XV.
And after 30,000 votes, here is the team fans selected. There are one or two surprise inclusions.
Fullback: JASON ROBINSON (England) – 10,758 votes
Winger: SHANE WILLIAMS (Wales) – 12,374
Centre: Brian O’Driscoll (Ireland) – 21,392
Centre: Will Greenwood (England) – 10,697
Greenwood followed his father Dick into an England shirt. While his father was a prickly back row player, the younger Greenwood was one of the finest centres to grace the England midfield.
