England captain expresses fears over paywall plans
'Rugby needs more eyes on it, not less'

The England captain, Maro Itoje, has called for Six Nations organisers to keep the championship on free-to-air TV on the grounds that rugby union needs more exposure amid fears the championship will disappear behind a paywall next season.

Itoje, who leads England for the first time in Saturday's Six Nations clash with Ireland in Dublin, issued an impassioned plea, pointing to how he grew up watching the championship on the BBC and ITV.
