Rugby is a sport loved by a large part of the population, however, it has never been able to come close to the global interest that is football
BBC sport (www.bbc.co.uk/sport) is an easy site to recognise this favourtism of football. The 39th premier league game has caused a lot of controversy, but has the public forgotton about the six nations? It appears that it only attracts attention from journalists when it comes round to the weekend of play. http://www.thisisrugby.info/ is a popular site which offers a similar, yet not so publicised, layout to the BBC and sky sports
But other useful sites such as: http://www.scrumbag.tv offer a more light-heared approach to the game. It doesn't just offer statistics and manager reports, it delves into the fans views and gets a perspective from people who really make the game what it is
The fans can also get their opinions across through blogs which have continued to get more attention even in the top sites such as www.skysports.com. Blogs make comments available and offer a colourful perspective which a journalist is unable to create most of the time
This can also be illustrated in: http://www.lasttackle.com/index.php, one which allows blogs to be more dominant. Journalists are realising this and therefore have increased their online audience. The revolution of the internet for Rugby Union and League discusions has only just begun through the eyes of the world
Now it appears Rugby League is taking America, something I will discuss on my next post
