As a South African, rugby union is obviously my preferred game. But two years ago, a friend gave me a DVD set with State of Origin highlights and I really enjoyed it.

So my point is this: there isn’t always great rugby on television and a broadcaster like SuperSport can accommodate a game or two of league on its channels, but this is not happening. Why?

I mean we already get AFL, gridiron, basketball and baseball through ESPN. I find it puzzling that rugby league is nowhere to be seen on South African screens.

Is the NRL simply not interested? Any thoughts?
