Premiership Rugby Results no longer available

Premiership Rubgy fixtures and results are parsed from the calendar feed on this page. https://www.premiershiprugby.com/downloadable-fixture-list/. Unfortunately, the last fixture to have been updated with scores was on 4th March. Not sure if this is an error on their end or intentional. I've emailed on the off chance it wasn't an intentional change and they can fix it.

Otherwise, might need to look for alternative sources. https://www.premiershiprugby.com/fixtures/aviva-premiership-rugby-fixtures/ as a results page looks like it'd be a bit tricky to scrape.

This looks easier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/english-premiership/results

Then in the DataManager, we may need to do a bit extra to import fixtures, tables and scores instead of just fixtures and table. Then the fixtures imported from the ical feed could be updated with the results from the bbc page. What do you think?

This version of the premiership rugby doesn't like it's meant to still be publicly consumed but is easier to scrape than the BBC site: http://rd.premiershiprugby.com/matchcentre/fixtures/aviva_premiership.php
