Others include the 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, PGA Tour
golf, IPL cricket and English domestic rugby league. BT recently responded
by wrapping up the rights to Britain’s pre-Wimbledon grass-court tennis
tournaments.
Barney Francis, Sky Sports’ managing director, said of the Top 14 deal: “This
agreement brings even more top-class rugby union to Sky Sports.”
Paul Goze, the LNR president, added: “We’re pleased to announce this
partnership with Sky and to secure such a strong partner on a long-term
deal.”
