At least with Alba the production values will be decent. The Premier sports (now Viaplay) coverage would have shamed an amatuer with a ten year old mobile phone. Has to said though that the iPlayer coverage has been patchy in the past with both this and other rugby tournaments in terms of games being missed out due to unannounced schedule changes.
