Why are they doing ITV, have they got a highlights agreement with them?

They have fallen into the same trap as Sky and the beeb have done; not showing the expansive backline plays and ball skills that our sport offers, something that sets us apart from the other code and would get someone going, yeah that's worth going out of my way to see. A quicker version of something like this would have been better at showcasing the game and getting fans to attend the games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbHGJt0fTVg

Because it’s the biggest commercial TV channel in Europe.

Brilliant! Well done RFL.

Any progress the rfl make promoting our game has to be applauded. There is a huge billboard at the bottom of our street promoting the 4 nations, something I can't recall seeing before either.

I really think that every club should be out there promoting these types of showpiece games to their towns, we need to see a resurgance of interest in our game, we have got to start fighting back at the footy who have monopolised sport coverage for long enough.

Well done RFL!

Saw a couple of professional looking nice and big posters advertising the double header in Shepherds Bush tube station tonight

Feels like there's some momentum gathering here.

To be aired at 02:00 am on Sunday evening on ITV4.

I like the advert. It's short, sharp, to the point, fast, and makes the sport look exciting.

Get's the main point across, in a short amount of time.

Good job RFL, it's a shame it'll be shown once, at 3:30am.

The advert is good and too the point. The problem I have is that the RFL haven't been promoting this all season! Too much too late

You mean apart from the leaflets, adverts, emails and pricing offers throughout the season?

It's a good concise advert, just a small fault, my eyes were drawn to the action rather than the website and the games dates & locations don't exactly stand out.

That said this, along with billboards and the great posters which are on the London Underground at the moment, I'm really impressed the RFL are doing their all. It;s a shame it's not been done straight after the Grand Final but well done RFL.

Great ways to promote the game, sure some people will find a way to moan though!

Do it ourselves, spread the word!

contact the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Wayne rooney , joel barton who have been praising rugby leagueon twitter so im sure they wudnt mind putting a quick message out if possible . they each have millions of followers.
