Extending their longstanding partnership, ITV signed a new two-season deal with PREM Rugby earlier this year and are committed to showing seven live matches, including the final, in each of the 2026/27 and 2027/28 seasons.

ITV coverage of the Gallagher PREM this season will begin in round one with a heavyweight clash at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, as Leicester Tigers host Saracens on Sunday, 27 September at 3pm, live on ITV1 and ITVX.

The second free-to-air fixture will see Sale Sharks take on Exeter Chiefs on Sunday, 6 December at 3pm, with the match also live on ITV1 and ITVX.

The festive schedule will then see Harlequins face Northampton Saints in Big Game 18 at Allianz Stadium on Monday, 28 December, live on ITV4 and ITVX.

Further ITV fixtures for the 2026/27 Gallagher PREM season will be announced in due course.

Excellent.

Our sport needs more free-to-air coverage. What better way to do it.

This should be one match per round and the finals. The more rugby readily available to view, the better.

How the unplanned arrival of Manie Libbok turned the green and gold tide against New Zealand

According to Kyle Sinckler, talking to Dan Biggar, it is the NZ prop who does not do what he should. He says that all teams do what SA do in the scrums.

Still far too many individual errors from the players.

That’s the difference with the Boks, who make fewer of them. The gap between the two teams isn’t that big, but the more pragmatic team wins. It’s the team that makes the most of its periods of dominance and strength, particularly at scrum time.

So what was she supposed to say instead? Something like “Oh we have absolutely no chance and will get done like a dinner and will just be happy to play once more in front of a big crowd there to see us get flogged by the home team”?

You mean Lomax? Wouldn’t really say EDG started a test, more had to role out of bed to get into a test match.

Or do you now think Lomax will not be able to regain his spot from Tamaiti?

Jordie can play 10,12,13,15, Leicester can play 7,12,13,11,14. Those are the only real main ones atm.

Dmac has played 9 but he would be the same as say say a 9 like Williams who can fill in just as well on the wing. Leroy Carter is a 7’s specialist so he has time at 9,11,13,14 as well, but is not one of our top 23 level players.

The numbers behind the Wallabies’ uphill battle against the Springboks

The problem with basing an analysis on the numbers alone is that they're an aggregate from the whole match and you have no context for their occurrence.

This means that you're often not comparing like with like which means that anything you say based on that won't actually be accurate.

How the unplanned arrival of Manie Libbok turned the green and gold tide against New Zealand

Just situations like that play you highlight, actually think I’m referring to the Ben Smith article, where he passed it to Aumua who got stripped going to ground in the tackle. He would normally make something of the space in front of him in that situation.

Still doing well in his fundamentals and had previously come into the game with a good kicking record.

Not for the moment. Retallick didnt say that he wanted to return in nz. It is not the problem. Rennie took this example to say : we need time to dévelop there new locks.

If they lose in Baltimore and go down 3-1, I wonder if it will give them pause to rethink the overseas selection rules?
