Only 5 games a season, not very many, but definitely a good thing!

It's certainly likely to attract a bit more of a following to Rugby.  Interesting that it is Channel 5 though.  I wouldn't have thought they'd be interested...

Didn't cricket get a real boost when channel 4 started showing cricket? It would be great if the popularity grows as a result.

Good news....I hope they are allowed to pick some of the better games for the general public to get a good idea of what domestic rugby is all about.  Also hope the higlights show is on at a decent time and not hidden away at some stupid time in the middle of the night.
