[QUOTE="Seaton, post: 487004, member: 64443"] All fair that when rugby is covered that he gets mentioned, but with the sports sections of papers in Scotland being 95% about the Old Farm (with the rest being hate agains the non-OF clubs and Scotland) the common man/ women/ child doesn't get exposure to Scottish rugby or it's new poster boy. The ***-for-tat kak of the BBC and Sky doing their best to avoid reporting or covering other events that they don't show themselves means that Sky doesn't show or acknowledge that the Pro 12 exists. With there being so many Sky and ESPN customers in Scotland with little interest in rugby, a young, 'blonde' giant of a man doing well in the Premiership who is Scottish may garner interest. Certainly would do any harm, it's not the existing rugby followers we need be concerned about, the sellout against France shows there is a lot more people who feel a buzz happening in Scottish rugby at the moment, and now I am just going in circles and have said all I can on the matter. End of the day, this is lookin more and more an opportunity for Scottish rugby to gain exposure, and on a similar note the Edinburgh/ Toulouse game has already sold 27 000+ tickets as of yesterday, with sales having dipped to 200 a day since last Friday. :o [/QUOTE]
