They aren't but surely they want people to watch they're coverage.

I didn't ask to be facecious, I genuinely haven't been watching any telly this week. But usually, the standard of the CC Final promo compared to the RU ones is like Hollywood vs Cricklewood.

One bonus is that the audience wouldnt have had to look at the thick toothless goon that is JP. How poor must he come across on the radio. At least his ugly looks detract from his bile when he is speaking on TV.

I'll give you his address if you want to tell him about this in person.

He's awful, yet the BBC think he's the next Des Lynam. Mark Chapman would have been a much better host if available.

And they are plugging it.

Unfortunately, the BBC could cancel Eastenders for an hour-long trailer in prime-time and this boards would still be littered with pharocial whinging.

Shame he had his parole request turned down yesterday....

I'll get me coat.

Jon Wilkin on BBC Breakfast this morning for about a ten minute discussion on the Challenge Cup.

I've also seen the advert a few times this week. Advert ok but certainly not the quality of their RU ads. Still, it's better than nothing and at least we still have Clare Balding as anchor. That woman is class.

Not too bad from the BBC but could do better. Glad they've been giving it some publicity and the curious will tune in to watch a live final. That's how I first got an interest in the game many years ago watching the CC Final live on the BBC.

I read on Twitter that there has just been an interview with Robbie Paul on Radio 4 discussing the Challenge Cup today. I can't say I'd have bet on Radio 4 discussing the final!

This is the story for so many people, including myself. The Challenge Cup final is probably the best bit of PR for the game that there is and yet as a competition it has been sadly neglected.

Not up to the quality of the ads for an RU cup final? Or not up to the quality of the ads for the Five Nations? Because the latter is completely understandable.

I've caught plenty of promotion for the CC over the last couple of weeks. If anything I reckon it's been better this year than in recent years.
