[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 755479, member: 12207"] To be honest mate the timing of this game was really unfortunate... It was sandwiched in between both the AFL and NRL Grand Finals, meaning it failed to make the front or back page of any newspaper in the country. It wasn't helped by the fact that the NRL Grand Final was one of the all time most epic and nail biting games the competition has seen though. For a bit of perspective on the national coverage of it, the ABC have a weekly sports round up program every Sunday morning called "offsiders" that goes for about 30 minutes. They spoke about the match for all of 3 minutes in between about 13 minutes each for the AFL and NRL (and the NRL hadn't even started) AND they didn't even get a union journo on the show - just directed their questions the the herald's League veteran. That about sums up Rugby's place in our national psyche right now though sadly. [/QUOTE]
