Just to let you know, we've changed the way our comments section works...

As you might have already noticed, our current commenting system is receiving a revamp.

The new system will allow for greater engagement and interaction between Sky Sports users.

Below is a summary of what you can expect…

In the comments section below articles, you will now find a new link to sign-in via a Facebook account. This will replace the current sign-in process and benefits will include:

* The ability to share comments directly to Facebook or Twitter
* Follow and speak directly to other comment users
* Style your comments to add more impact
* See how many others are listening to the conversation

We are always looking to make improvements to your experience, however these changes do mean that custom usernames will no longer be displayed as only Facebook profiles will be used.

While we understand this change may not please everyone, we hope you see from the benefits mentioned above that we are looking to move forward with an interactive audience of passionate rugby fans like yourselves.
