        They only leave the action at planned breaks though or things like injury timeouts. Time the PL set a limit to VAR reviews e.g. 60s and then TV can go to adverts. Much rather watch Fairy Liquid ads than endless forward/rewind of slowmo and endless debates while waiting for the verdict.

        Soon, like the US, you will also be able to bet through the TV on events you are actually watching e.g. 5/1 McIlroy will make this 30' putt. You'll be in your element Brin.

          Premier Sports are covering the 6 nations but that will set you back £11.99 per month. Add in Sky Sports, iFollow and TNT and it will soon be cheaper to go to the game live - now there's a thought!

          I read ITV will go to Ads when a scrum is being formed. I think it's going to be a split screen affair? Recipe for disaster and watch the complaints flood in!

              Glenn, they'll take no notice though as money talks so more adverts it is.

                It is the period of the year when nearby countries hate the English more than usual

                I am convinced that there are 2 prizes the other 5 teams play for, one being the tournament itself and the other is beating England!

                  Apparently the Trump family are going into the US prediction market, currently dominated by Polymarket and Kalshi. It is reported

                  that someone placed a bet on Maduro being ousted by the end of last month and pocketed over $400k when, surprise! surprise! it

                  happened.

                  My understanding is that the ITV ads will be a screen within the screen, and that they are limited to one break each half.

                    To be fair the amount of time it takes for the scrums to be set in Union these days you could probably fit in an episode of Coronation Street never mind a few adverts .

                    Saying that even as a huge Rugby League fan I'll be watching the 6 Nations , great tournament and something we all grew up watching .

                    That great Welsh team of the 70's is my earliest memory , absolutely brilliant they were .

                      The first adverts have been on during play.

                      It was a lull in play and the add was on a split screen.
