French Twitch streamer Florian Marliere moves Premiership Rugby to Twitch in France

Florian Marliere has bought Premiership Rugby rights in France and will stream matches on Twitch via his Janusport channel. After beIN Sports’ deal ended, fans had no access. Marliere says the move is driven by passion, not profit. His coverage starts with Bath vs Saracens, and it could change how rugby is broadcast in smaller markets.
