It was certainly a dumb move by the FA but not so much of an issue in this case - indeed makes TNT look like the good guys offering some coverage back on FTA TV having been absent for a couple of years compared to the FA Cup where announcing early made them look like the bad guys taking away something that had been completely free for the last few years.
Remains to be seen what the FTA component is but the schedule works out quite nicely to give an FTA broadcaster one match each week covering each home nation against decent, but not flagship, opposition with matches against Fiji, Argentina and Japan, plus a fixture in week 2 involving Wales.
