I’ve already dealt with them.
Here’s an ode I composed to the greatest modern player of rugby since .. errr .. since I started getting into it ..

I’d really like to see this changing, but it probably won’t. Too much money is involved I would think. But then, they have plenty of League matches over the weekend.
Surely there’s enough room in the pleb schedule for a bit of Rugby?
