Quote: Leeds_Luke "I know more than one person who couldn't find the coverage, even when looking on BBC iPlayer.
It's almost as though the game was hidden away on purpose. I've heard nothing but negative reports from those that did find it.'"
Wire fan here in peace. I had this same issue. They said it was going to be on the red button, but there was nothing there. I eventually found it, buried in iPlayer and nowhere near the front page. I really can't imagine any other live sport treated so poorly, even the women's six nations gets more attention from the beeb. Even as recent as last year we got two cup games live on TV on the BBC, usually on a Saturday and Sunday. If they're going to cling onto it they ought to present it better, or give it to Channel Four. As others say, the commentary was awful, the female kept getting names wrong. The sound was tripe, the camera angles awful, cutting away from the referee and stuff.
