Six Nations Rugby will be broadcast on the 成人论坛 up to and including the 2013 tournament, following a new deal announced today by 成人论坛 Sport and the Six Nations Committee.

"We really value the Six Nations Committee's commitment and partnership and look forward to another six years of bringing top class rugby to our audiences."
