Been fantastic games so far but for every great match it's leaving me more and more frustrated that the powers that be (BBC, RFL, Sky, whoever . . .) couldn't come to some agreement to get it before a wider audience.

Serving up an amazing product but mainly only a minority audience of die-hard fans will be watching on Premier Sports or Virgin.

Makes me wonder if we might look back on this WC and see it as a massive missed opportunity.

I love day the other day (Fiji Ireland I think), where the ref say something along the lines of Jesus, I can't see anything

It's also exposed some of the muddle thinking behind VR decisions.

Perenara calling a player out as offside early in the process, then completely forgetting about him being offside when he becomes involved in play for example.

Thaler's decision on the Burgess no try that there were "no Australian hands near the ball" despite three players trying to hold it up as he reached out for the line.

You do wonder sometimes whether being able to hear them make such obvious mistakes actually adds to or subtracts from the image the game is trying to project.

I'd be really happy Iif I spent the afternoon flicking a virgin as well.

Now, to the topic at hand, I understand the BBC audience was 2.5 million. That is fantastic. Anyone know the audiences for Premier Sports?

I alternated between the two channels because I like HD, but I prefer the commentary on Premier. Does that mean I count on both figures??
