<p>The Rugby Six Nations tournament has been a group B event on the listed events
regime since 1998. As a group B event, live coverage may be provided by a subscription
television service providing that delayed coverage or extended highlights are provided
by a qualifying free to air channel.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government
is clear that the existing list works well, and strikes the right balance between
retaining free-to-air sports events for the public and allowing rights holders to
negotiate agreements in the best interests of their sport. The Government therefore
has no intention of undertaking a review of the list, or of moving the Six Nations
from the category B list to the category A list.</p><p> </p>
