I think a few more will have bigger roles in season 5

Exactly sports just like that which are part of the Olympics give them the chance to grow a wider audience by putting them on terrestrial TV. Something like the old grandstand with different sports every week

Fair points but the idea of the licence fee was that the BBC could broadcast niche viewing without a worry about audiences. With the Olympics I love that it is free to sit but I would sell the rights with an obligation to promote and broadcast some of the lesser known events year round that are...

It is an age old argument to which there is no right or wrong answer but think how many sports being celebrated you can buy the rights to for the cost of match if the day and the fa cup. How many sports could get shown week in week out of the BBC were not just interested in the Crown Jewel...

The change is that it used to be Sports Review of the Year and the award was presented as part of it. Now the BBC has so few TV rights that it cannot do a detailed review of the year as it has no footage. This year at least they have rights to the two successful women's teams but aside from that...

I am.ok with the list this year, Euros winners, works cup winner and others at the top of their sports. Seems a very fair list this year

The irony that you see mainstream high Street shops bemoaning the lack of foot traffic and customers yet push online only deals or hold no stock and so you are buying online anyway to pick up a few days later. If shops want people back on the high street then offer in store only deals

It is also a marketing thing. Not going to sell those away shirts for Xmas if they never wear them. Also with England there is no clash in the 6 nations or against most of the southern hemisphere teams. Argentina is the only time they really need to wear them.

Mickey 17. Actually an enjoyable Sci-Fi film.

Pads make it worse, you go in with no fear but your head is shaken around as much. Like that rugby is slowly moving back and publicising the physicality Wish we had England v SA next week. That would end the autumn nicely

Still our best fly half. Those 2 drop goals changed the game. Get down there, score points, head back do it again and keep the board ticking over

Totally agree great player but new Zealand were more comfortable kicking out of hand when Steward went off. We are developing a great squad for different styles of play. Furbank is back for Northampton today though and he is the nearest to covering both options

Look at the age of some of the current South African squad. All world beaters with tons of experience. Did you watch Reinach play at the weekend, he is 35 and I cannot see anyone looking to move him on. We have been guilty of ditching experience too soon for the next shiny thing. Look at Ford...

Not sure he stood out enough last week. Ford is still our best tactical fly half and the best with ball out of hand and is no slouch off the tee. He is also a great organiser and voice on the pitch. He has more than enough in the tank to get through to the next world cup. He and Smith will be...

Agreed I think he needs a second position
