Alex White considers Six Nations free-to-air plan

Communications Minister Alex White has said there is a strong argument that the Six Nations should be designated free-to-air on TV ahead of an expected review going to Cabinet this week.

The Coalition will consider adding the rugby championship to events that must be available for live broadcast after the tournament recently said it wanted to sell rights to satellite stations next year.

The development comes less than a fortnight after Ireland won its second Six Nations in a row.
