Premier Sports considering bid for Super Rugby rights according to rugby correspondent Nik Simon

Less than a month to go until the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific season kicks-off and there is no confirmed broadcaster for the UK or Ireland. Sky's deal ended in 2025 and there has been no word on a potential renewal or another broadcaster acquiring the rights.
