Streaming Shambles forces the RFU to show the England match on YouTube

England Rugby was forced to start his own YouTube channel to record the English XV against France XV in Tickenham to live stream after the Sender RugBypass stream has dropped.

The match was in the early phases when the streaming difficulties became visible, whereby the RugBypass television page was displayed a message with the inscription “Too many inquiries”. At that time, Les Bleus led 5-0 thanks to an attempt by Hooker Gaetan Barlot.
