Frankly, i think it is disgusting that all the home nations, but england have been relegated to itv 3 and 4.

We do live in the NH, and as such would die rather than support the AB's, Aussies or SA. I can see the appeal of having AB's on itv 1, they are a draw team, like brazil is in poofball, but not everyone has freeview, so they will miss out on their own team.

It sucks. I never really have a problem with any broadcast, but the point of having a panel at a tv studio is for a balanced debate.

You can sometimes see that the panel are sick of being asked the same old FAQ, and boy is it dull to watch.

How many time you can discuss Wilkinson being a star again is beyond me. How many times you can tell Martin Johnson he is the be-all is beyond me.

There was an ITV rugby reunion thing one the other night with all the stars.. farr-jones, lomu, fitzpatrick etc and all Jim Rosenthal kept saying in the interview to Johnno was.. 'can england win', 'will wilko do it again'.. it was awful.

Johnno didn't have a reply really.. he just had to keep regirgitating the same answer.. which was 'i think we will do well' and 'only time will tell'.

You could see on his face he was sick of asked the same question.
