I spent time attending RU matches over the last 20 years and the games virtually unrecognisable from my early days. I'm not sure but I think it was Sale who started to play RL in the backs and continued with RU in the forwards.
Like it or not they have taken over the Rugby title while providing employment for players who would have been put out to graze in our came.
Its not that long ago that the grounds were half full and a match day experience non event, all clubs have worked hard to turn things round and have received full support from the RFU.
I doubt very much that anyone withing the organisation can take the game to the next level

You might be right but I think Bath and Leicester and maybe Gosforth were possibly the fore runners in expanding that part of they're game.

Managed to set my Q box to record the Channel 4 game. Anybody else?

Sky have supposedly sorted the fault so everyone should now have no problems setting record.

Any one know who will be presenting the games on 4

Good question, don't know sorry.

According to Schoey in today's League Express, Kevin Sinfield and Leon Pryce are the pundits and I'm sure I've heard Adam Hills' name mentioned somewhere too ??

Yes. Adam Hills announced today

Looking forward to 4 programme.

Could be interesting if Myler gets man of the match on Saturday....
"Well done dear, now go get showered and pick the kids up !!!"

That's a good team.
Surprised at Skelton. Thought she'd have bigger gigs so that is a good 'signing'

Hasn't she just dropped one too...???
