Man of your word, clearly. All those other people must be very disappointed in you.

Does it really matter
I decided to sign up in the end, not the end of the world is it?

The URC play-off line-up was confirmed on Saturday, with all five nations represented. As ever all matches are on Premier Sports and URC TV. RTÉ and S4C show Munster v. Ospreys on Friday night, whilst TG4 show Bulls v. Benetton and Leinster v. Ulster on Saturday. That leaves Glasgow v. Stormers exclusively behind a paywall in Ireland and in Scotland. Such a shame that Scotland is the only part of the British Isles to not have some FTA provison in this competition.

Elsewhere next Saturday, there will be rugby finals simultaneously on BBC One and ITV 1. BBC One with the rugby league Challenge Cup final (Wigan v. Warrington) and ITV 1 with the rugby union Premiership final (Bath v. Northampton). It will be interesting to see the ratings battle there.

Nope, it just rather shows up the pointlessness of all your continued - oddly specific - moaning about TNT.

Still no broadcast deal announced for the British grass court tennis which starts in Nottingham in 8 days time, followed by Birmingham and Queens, then Eastbourne (Queens and Eastbourne both in their final year of a secondary rights deal with the BBC).
The Surbiton Trophy which starts tomorrow has had BBC iPlayer coverage the past 3 years but nothing for that yet either, although it has streaming due to it being ATP Challenger/ITF level on their websites.

I haven't moaned about TNT for a while, I admit I was very passionate at the time about the aspect of the free to air FA cup fully being taken away from ITV but that is now in the past.

Tried to find the answer elsewhere but drew a blank - why has the Challenge Cup final moved from the end of the summer?

Is Queens not included in the Sky ATP deal?

No domestic events are in the Sky ATP & WTA deal, hence it being absent from
www.skysports.com
Amazon got Queen's and Eastbourne ATP in 2018, the year before they got the rest of the ATP Tour. The domestic WTA remained on Eurosport at the time.

Something about moving it back to its more traditional date as it was before rugby league became a summer sport. Thinking about it, next weekend is the ideal time this year as it's about the only weekend without any meaningful football or other major events.
It's better than what happened for the 2021 and 2022 Premiership Rugby finals that was two or three weeks later, clashing with the Euros in 2021 (though the season did start late because of COVID backlog so not totally their fault).

Although considering it's been traditionally on the last Saturday in August for most of this century (odd how it jumped around in the early noughties though) I'm not sure the tradition of the century before that makes sense. Bit like how the FA Cup Final now feels a bit odd at 3pm rather than 5.15pm.
