It is believed that the Six Nations unions and CVC, the investment capital company that has taken a 14.3% stake in the championship, are to share £700,000 for providing access for the first season of the series that aims to bring the tournament to a global audience – although it won’t be broadcast until next year.
That fee will rise to £850,000 in total if there is a second season of the sport’s equivalent of Formula One’s ‘Drive To Survive’.
