BBC's Six Nations online deal

Stay with BBC Sport Online for this year's Six Nations

BBC Sport Online has secured the rights to provide audio commentary from all 15 matches in this year's Six Nations Championship.

That means over 20 hours LIVE coverage on the web from one of the world's premier rugby events, in addition to audio and video reports and reaction before and after the big games.

BBC Radio teams will bring every game to BBC Sport Online as it happens during this year's tournament, including commentary in Welsh from Radio Cymru.

Live chats

There will also be a live chat after each weekend's action - the first came from Cardiff following England's big win over Wales.

Pete Clifton, editor of BBC News and Sport Online, said: "Our deal with the Six Nations is great news for rugby fans across the world.

"It underlines our commitment to provide as much live commentary on the site as we can.

"With live score updates, running match reports, articles by players and BBC commentators, live chats every weekend and video highlights, it adds up to an unbeatable Six Nations package."
