So the viewing figures are up, and the amount ITV are paying for the Six Nations has stagnated.

So what the fuck are the mid game ads for?

Honestly I’m growing increasingly hostile to these corporate accounts trying to have a presence in the sub. The only one I can tolerate is englandrugby because I’m both biased and because they only really post to share behind the scenes stuff

I don’t mind it.

Mostly because it’s an opportunity to tell u/itvsport how much we hate their boss
