It's one of those rare weekends with no football I can watch. The FA Cup ties are on ESPN+ here, which I don't subscribe to - and I don't consider the FA Cup important enough to pay for. So, for the first time in ages, I watched some rugby union this weekend. With the Six Nations coming up, I'd thought I'd share something about how I feel about rugby right now - particularly club rugby. Quite simply, it's a mess. With Wasps and Worcester bankrupt and no longer playing any matches, this season is a write off. Makes you wonder about the future financial viability of a lot of the other clubs going forward. I watched a game this weekend - Saracens vs Bristol - and the quality was awful. Is this how things are now? No wonder I haven't been watching many games this year. But then I wondered if this is because all the best players are on international duty. It is ridiculous - RIDICULOUS - that the top club sides are still playing games when their best players are not available. It's a disservice to the game, the league and the fans. Can you imagine if Premier League clubs were put in the same position - there would be uproar. Not impressed with how things are being run right now. Which is a shame, because I love me some rugger.
