I know this has been done to death over the years and I know it won't change anything but I just wanted to voice my own personal disgust at the absolutely scandalous lack of promotion coverage for the undoubted biggest game of the autumn period in this country - England versus Australia Rugby League International.

I waited with trepidation whilst watching the "sports section" on the BBC this morning on the national news, to see if things could get any worse which I foolishly believed it couldn't; it did.

Nothing, zilch, diddlysquat. Not even a single solitary sentence.

Oh yes they found enough time to talk about "Rugby" (who do the Rugby Union think they are trying to claim the name?). The fact that Donald Duck and friends are lining up for the England Managers job. Then an article about some obscure Union cup played last night between a previously (to me) unheard of foreign team.

"Rugby" League - nothing.

Last week on the morning of the game we had even rounders (yes rounders!) in front of us in the pecking order.

Complete disgrace and totally disrespectful to "The" greatest game.

Rant over but who do i complain to? If I could start an on-line campaign I would!

ITV news announced the result on their evening broadcast, a victory for the Wallabies

There seem to be some genuine fans in the BBC now - Clare Balding, George Riley and Mark Chapman - and they are light years away from Eddie Waring.

Tompkins and Hall have scored tries that I'm sure will be shown again - two talented players whom the mainstream can talk about.

I think the BBC News is allowed to show X seconds each day from Sky Sports. I wonder if all the time is used up showing soccer highlights - or if it's x seconds per sport?

if you were bothered you could do a freedom of information requestto see what breakdown there is within sport in terms of coverage for sports and if there is a given formula for sports other than soccer and why given RL is the third highest supported sport in the UK (in terms of top echelon) why it does not receive more coverage/mentions as a whole?
It probably won't achieve anything but the RFL could well do with a kick up the arris to infiltrate BBC sport at the higher levels somehow

Or write into BBC's Points of View. I think the show still runs, on BBC News Channel. Doubtful the complaints have any effect on BBC policy, but it should glean an answer, at least.
