I think your point about the whole thing over the last 20 years or a generation is actually a really valid point.
When I started radio sport was back in 1998.
You've been around a long time.
I've been banging the drum non-stop for 26 years about it, that rugby was complacent, that it was arrogant, that it always believed that it had the country in the palm of its hands.
and didn't have to do anything.
They were all going to grow up rugby fans.
I agree.
The generations have changed now and there's so much more out there.
And you've mentioned in the article, which is really valid, basketball, football, rugby league.

Less than half a percent, less than 0.1 of a percent.
Look, Duncan, all the footballers that leave this country, how many of them actually make it?
It's the same with all sport.
Very few will make it.

There's been four or five guys that have made the Premier League.
But how do you... In 50 years.
