I hope that Amazon Prime get their bank balance well and truly burned by their intervention in rugby. For me, having BT, Sky and terrestrial was enough choice. if they thought that hundreds of thousands of rugby fans would sign up to Prime just to watch this Autumn fiasco I hope they have been proved dramatically wrong. Opportunists!!!
There is another reason why I would not have Amazon Prime and that is, without it, I know that every telephone call I get from a vocalised computer with an American accent about my Amazon Prime Account is a fake.
Having had Amazon Prime for years I can safely say I have never had a call about it, just the usual emails and occasional letter with an offer.
I struggle with the hatred of Amazon Prime having some Rugby. If you don't have prime, it's easy to join, for free, for a month which effectively covers this tournament window. Then cancel.
Then, when they get more matches in the future, as I assume this won't be a 1-off, rejoin for the duration of the next period, again should be possible for free, even if it goes over 1 month it only costs £7.99. A lot cheaper than adding Sky on for similar periods if you don't have sky tv, I don't. Plus no Stuart Barnes, a huge plus in my opinion.
The only downside I see is the fact you have to watch old school, i.e. sit down when it starts to watch it, although you can watch re-runs later.
