The battle for television coverage of the Five Nations Rugby Championship has got more complicated with Wales not wanting its club rugby to be included in the Five Nations Package. The Welsh Rugby Union has put out a tender document offering two separate packages to the BBC and HTV, asking the companies to bid for non-exclusive rights to televise Welsh club rugby.
Sky is also complicating the issues, hoping to pick up secondary rights to major matches. The winners of the domestic contract were meant to be announced last week, but the Welsh interruptions appear to have complicated this.
