Awful, according to the BBC Sport Rugby page, Manu and Ashton came to blows in a Heineken Cup match, when will the BBC take on board people who know something about rugby and researches who dont just guess

Checkout Radio 4 in the mornings.
3 or 4 minutes of sport before the half hour of which 3 minutes are wendyball, the rest is racing. They made no mention whatsoever of the England or Welsh sides named yesterday.BBC sport needs a complete sort out.

That's a helluva stutter you've got there, Smudge.

The article on the BBC site has now been amended after I sent them a 'polite' email yesterday suggesting they spend more time on establishing factual accuracy rather than simply muck-raking for the more sensational angle. I also find it usually helps to remind them who is paying their wages.

This is nothing BBC News Coverage last weekend at the "Royal/Rugby" wedding could not identify correctly the jockey AP McCoy...he won Sports Personality not that long ago....

On East Midlands Today they mentioned Manu starting for England, and the clip that goes with it is one of Alex training with Tigers. Obviously someone just saw the name Tuilagi and thought 'Oh! That must be him!'...

BBC are all over Rugby in the 6 Nations. BUT cannot even mention any Premiership results on a normal Saturday! SO, why not tell them if they want the 6 Nations they have to give rugby union more time?

Showed it today.
Radio 5 live extra for rugby, England vs Wales.
5 Live had Championship football, with some rambling summarisers.

Great evening at Grace Road though!

Just be thankful that they didn't illustrate it with a photo of Alesana smacking Cueto back in 2005.

Bizarrely, they recently illustrated the news of Worsley being dropped from the England squad with a picture of Ben Cohen.
