[QUOTE="Triniquint, post: 142589"] Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't England, **** poor as they are, the current Rugby World Champions, and doesn't England, with the largest rugby community of all, have the greater viewing numbers? So don't these two factors play a major role in determining what's shown on what channel? And don't the majority of people in the UK want to see how England play, if only because they prefer to see them take a fall? And don't the majority of people not give a toss about the lesser rugby teams, whether this is deemed acceptable or not? The whinge here seems to be like the one for rewarding mediocrity, and how the losers ought to get prizes too. Oh well, I suppose that's life. But I guess we'll have to gird our loins now with the whinging kicking off already. For me, I far prefer to listen to the likes of Martin Johnson, Will Greenwood, Stuart Barnes, et alia as they are knowledgeable and capable of having a good laugh. North of the border has STV haven't they? And Grampian? Why not ask these broadcasters why they haven't done a deal with ITV1, or whatever, to show the matches you want see in your country? It's certainly not a secret plot to deliberately deprive you of them. [/QUOTE]
