I was a little concerned last night, when watching the reds vs tahs game, at the end, fox showed the ladder. It had the force in last place, with their one bonus point.
All week I've been reading stories about how the bonus point is worth 4 points, and the Stormers topped the SA conference ladder in week one without playing a game......I thought the same courtesy would extend to the force.
So I googles around a bit and discovered two very interesting things.
1 it's really bloody hard to find a ladder on the Internet
2 fox don't appear to have one at all (or at least I wasn't perceptive enough to find it)
3 in every ladder I found the force are third with 5 points
This causes me to wonder whether fox sports has been made aware of the 4 points thing, or is it something that snuck under the radar for everyone, not just the fans.
One would think the major (read exclusive) broadcaster would have all this sorted out
(if you want to put on the old conspiracy hat, you could argue they did it deliberately to make the force look worse) personally, I think it's good old-fashioned incompetence, but it'l be interesting to see the standings on the rugby club Thursday!
