It has all gone very quiet on the European rugby front. Granted the major rugby focus is on the World Cup starting exactly a year hence, but lets not forget the post-Heineken Cup kicks off in little over a month’s time, but would you know it?
We do have a fixture list-eventually, but launch details , sponsorship updates and hard media information have been worryingly sparse – the anticipatory drum roll reaches barely a whimper.
Look at the official website, and just one news item has appeared in the last month. This is a time of year when rugby fans should be getting ready for the new European kick-off under a hail of anticipatory information.
Fingers crossed that every thing turns out all right on the night.
