Rugby’s in a really tricky spot. They need money, but they also need eyeballs to re-energise to slowly lift up and replenish the grassroots.

I noticed Brenton Speed calling last night’s Australia v Lithuania game from the Sydney studio, as he was at Parramatta tonight commentating the NRL clash between the Eels and the Sea Eagles.
Tried listening to the host telecaster call for the Canada game, the play by olay guy from Britain was as interested as some grandmother was at leaving her knitting on cold winter’s day amd the co,our commentator (a Canadian female from the sound of her voice) couldn’t have sounded more biased if she tried.
But now they’ll get complaints about commentary from a studio.
Although maybe people don’t know any better?
**Fox Sports launches Bathurst coverage **

Seems like there’s been significant cutbacks to the A-League coverage - noticed there’s no mention either in that press release or in the TV guide of programs like ‘Matchday Saturday’ or ‘Shootout’
yes that is correct. Only a half-hour pre-game and 15 minute post-game. The A-League Hour has also been axed, replaced by A-League mini-matches (packaged highlights) on Monday nights from 7.30pm AEDT on 505, sandwiched inbetween lots of golf. Fox Sports cannot wait until their rights lapse, I’m sure Optus Sport will take it over after that.
They’re still referring to Saturday’s coverage as ‘Matchday Saturday’ so perhaps that hasn’t changed.
One other thing I’ve noticed is they’ve eliminated having a separate sideline reporter. Both last night (for the Socceroos match) and tonight, one of the ‘desk pundits’ conducted the HT & FT player interviews
Typhoon Hagibis forced yesterday’s qualifying for the Japanese F1 Grand Prix to be postponed to 10am local time (12pm AEDT) this morning, followed by the race at 4.10pm AEDT. Both events will be shown live on Fox Sports 507, with Bathurst 1000 on 506.
10am Japan time
