What do you expect from the D4 crowd? The media, the public school brigade and the rugger chaps all mix in the same circles and rugby is their in thing. The only time the GAA grabs main headlines is when something controversial happens. In their eyes rugger is for decent chappy types; GAA is for farmers a*se face gombeen culchies and so the media reporting reflects this.

i do agree with the original poster.
we get reports and reactions from yesterdays soccer in another country and news on a rugby match a week away from now.
credit where credit is due their coverage yesterday was very good but is it only going to be a sunday thing from them to cover gaa and forget about it for the rest of the week.they dont give us political news from the british parliment over our own so why do they give us sports news from britian over our own?
