According to MSN (where I get my rubbish knowledge from though often only from a glance at the headline and not a click through) many people where upset about the Rugby being on ITV. Poor diddums had to wait a whole fortnight for the next episodes of Ant and Dec/Dancing on Ice. How do these poor people survive between series?
I wonder, do they also complain when soccer or tennis disrupts their viewing? Maybe so, but personally I would be happy to watch the Rugby on another BBC channel or on any of the other ITV channels..... presumably ITV thought it woould get more viewers than the dross they otherwise show. These days, I am hard pressed to find things on TV worth watching.... though I must say the latest (and last) series of Peaky Blinders is better than the last one.
I'm also sure the commetary would be different had England won at least the game, if not the championship. It's something I have noticed online.... Ireland fans are fans whatever, Wales fans still support their team despite a poor showing, I'm sure Scotland fans are similar ..... but England "fans" seemingly only support the team (sometimes fanatically) when they win and slag them off when they don't.
