It brings in a lot of money to the BBC from the international broadcasting rights.

I don't think that is strictly true:

The BBC is the "host broadcaster" the LTA negotiate their own worldwide deals

It doesn't justify the BBC filling their UK channels with it

I think there's quite a few licence payers that may disagree with you there

Personally I'd rather not be bombarded with poofball World Cup but there's a lot that like it

Roll on 2015 and the Rugby World Cup
