In a week that the ARU release a report on trying to up the rugby numbers, Rugby 360 on Fox continues its apparent crusade to get rid of the Force or so it seems.
As a major stakeholder in Super rugby it is disappointing to see Fox allow its presenters to continue to rubbish the Force and create the potential to drive us supporters away from the game, in the hope that a sevens program will solve all their numbers issues.
Yes a sevens program may entice a few youngsters across if very successful but it is not a magic bullet.
While we are travelling badly and their is no denying that we do not need to be kicked as well while we are down.
Kafe had a go at Foley, and for the second time in less than a month Georgina Robinson tries to instigate gossip about the Force, if not moving, then about the coach moving on and of all places to the Reds. Yes, her segment is seeing things through a crystal ball but she needs to take the label off.
As a major stakeholder Fox needs to reign in these presenters otherwise we will certainly turn off watching this show and at the end of the day the actual matches so that the ARU will have to find our replacement viewing numbers elsewhere.
This is a form of bullying and it needs to be stamped out
