Revise the Six Nations Rugby Championship to a Category A Designated Event

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Protect the Six Nations Rugby Championship by revising it from a Category B event to a Category A. This will enable to championship to remain on free to air broadcasting channels
I believe the 6 nations championship is of national importance, on par with other protected sporting events which are currently designated as category A. Large numbers of viewers can’t afford pay to view and therefore this would protect the best rugby tournament on earth so that all people can enjoy it free.
