[QUOTE="Dirty Ape, post: 755624, member: 73216"] It's a bit more complicated than this. Yes the NRL and AFL Grand Finals were some very shiny objects but the other major factor is that much of the Australian press chose not to cover this Rugby World Cup in protest at the "draconian" media accreditation agreement. News Corp, FairfaxMedia and the Austraian Press Association are all, effectively, not covering the tournament and this has the knock on effect of diminished coverage in the other major Australian media outlets. A lot of the New Zealand and British press also baulked at the agreement but were not in any position to not sign. Will be some interesting fallout from this after the Cup. [/QUOTE]
