The England and Wales women's International rugby matches that are currently occuring are without a broadcaster. The Telegraph last week reported that the BBC were offered the rights for the England games for free but turned them down. This essentially seems to be because of the short time frame between the announcement of the fixtures and when they actually take place. It is worth noting that these rights are sold by the Six Nations centrally, like is the case of the men's matches, although from what I can observe the non-Six Nations matches are not sold in one block but by team (i.e. France matches are not shown in the UK). It is also worth noting that there was no live sporting action on BBC One or Two last Saturday oor this coming Saturday, with the usual weekday daytime fare on BBC One each Saturday between Football Focus and Final Score.
The England match last weekend was streamed on YouTube by the RFU, and the same looks to be happening for this weekend's Wales match. The viewing figures for the England stream are below, they would certainly be higher on actual TV.

By the sounds of it, Eurosport are cutting back their snooker presentation. For the upcoming English Open, studio coverage will only begin on the Friday rather than the Monday as has been the case since studio presentation began. A little disappointing, especially with the lack of studio coverage that appears on Eurosport's covergae of anything in general, though it is an obvious cutback for them - I doubt Jimmy White or Ronnie O'Sullivan are particularly cheap.
