Ooh am spitting mad about this. Rugby is such a family sport to be enjoyed by everyone, children and adults alike. It brings people together, has great camaraderie, fans do not beat each other up after a match but commiserate and share a pint together. To make it a niche sport eats me up. I signed a petition tonight gawd knows how much good it will do. ITV/BBC have been blocked from a joint bid. It really is a fix. Bloody Murdoch family.
