ESPN / STARSPORTS RANT - 6 NATIONS AND SUPER 12 RUGBY

Just checked the ESPNSTAR.COM website to sort my Rugby viewing for the weekend, and what do I find? The England v Wales game is being shown at 1am on a 1 hr delayed feed, and the Ireland v Italy game isn't being shown till midday Sunday. Why? The England game is being delayed because of effing soccer (Spurs v Utd) which I can just about understand as for some reason the locals do seem to like watching 22 overpaid undereducated gweilos compete to see who can spit the furthest and have the biggest tantrum when a referee's decison goes against them.

But the Ireland game is being delayed because they are showing the higHlights (if there are any) of the Asian Motocross Championship at 3.30am and then effing Tennis at 4am. WTF? I'll bet a zillion dollars more people would watch Ireland v Italy at 3.30am than some gits on motorbikes, and who in their right mind would want to watch tennis at 4am? Why anyone would watch it at 4pm is also a mystery, but 4am? To watch a glorified parlour game in which grown men pat a ball back and forth across a net for 10 seconds and then have a 2 minute sit down? Why?

And as for Super 12? That might as well not be happening this weekend.

WHO THE FUCK IS THE MORON WHO DOES THE SCHEDULING AT ESPN / STAR SPORTS?

At least the Scotland v France game is live on Sunday night so I can have the pleasure of watching the sweaties get stuffed off the park as it happens.
