What is with the relationship Rugby has with free to air media?
For example, this morning, I'm watching the Today Show on 9 as I get ready to leave for work and there is a segment on the "footy" this weekend with some fat guy talking about league and Ackermanis talking about the AFL. Nothing about the Rugby. You never see anything about the Rugby, or if you do, it's fleeting.
League is about to land a massive TV rights deal and we're not even getting match of the week on free to air.
I know that Test Matches and Internationals get more airplay, but a lot of that is still Foxtel Only. It it seems that on the whole Rugby is just about invisible in the mainstream media, when compared to other codes.
Surely someone is working on this?
