What I will say is that it’s an absolute shame there seems more focus on this than our sports showpiece event. Especially media such as Sky and their pundits who even made a career from the sport. Do they not see the damage their hyperbole does to our game? Not just this but every week. They would rather spend the half time focussing on a clear forward pass for a try or some other event than any positives from the game.
It’s a disgrace and I really hope Channel 4 get more coverage for next year. While Sky has been important for our sport, I only see it holding us back now.
