Pushing on an open door with me. I am frustrated the sport we love doesn't have a wider audience and I no longer believe that is due to the press or institionalised prejudice (like it once was).
However I can see why the detractors have grounds for comment. Our sport, in my view, is not as entertaining as it was and the more "percentage" style of rugby and predictability can look, well, predictable. In RU for example you never know when someone is going to knock on under the sticks.
Also our international game is in a shambles.
