Because you brought up a pointless argument about subscription numbers.

As I said take solice that even with the slight drop off twice as many people in UK watch SL than watch super15 in Australia.

I'm sure its been mentioned in the 9 page measuring contest of a thread, but Thursday games dont inspire anyone. Much prefered the Saturday early evening games to watch on Sky

No one likes watching Rugby Union in the North of England, that's why its a Southern based sport confined to the M4 corridor.

Geography not your strong point then?

Barb showing 315,000 for the Grand Final, up 14% from 2013 but the 4th lowest figure over the last 10 years. ITV 4 showed Poland v Germany soccer at the same time as the GF and they got 580,000........I'd love to see the GF showed on delay on FTA.......start it as the final whistle goes.

The NZRU do this here with the games shown Live on Pay TV and then delayed on a FTA station (owned by sky). Sky wouldn't lose any viewers but the sport would benefit from the additional exposure.

Sky 1 and Pick TV get roughly the same amount of viewers but I suppose it might get more prominence on Sky 1.

To be honest the only way to really reach people is to get it on either BBC, ITV, C4 or C5.
