Sports fans in Malta are very well catered for when it comes to televised sports coverage. I know, for I am one of them.
So it was really surprising and disappointing to see that the Rugby Union World Cup taking place in the UK will not be broadcast on local TV.
This is a major tournament that takes place only every four years and is watched by millions across the globe. Given the thriving rugby scene in Malta it seems crass not to be broadcasting it.
I don’t know how excited viewers in Thailand, Indonesia, Finland and the Middle-East are by this event but, at least, they are given the opportunity to see it live on their local TV.
