I FEAR for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing and not for the reasons being written about all over social media. My question is: Where is the rugby player? No wonder the new series is struggling to engage with the great British public.
Who could forget Austin Healey and Matt Dawson, Chris Robshaw and Ugo Monye, Thom Evans and Gavin Henson when they strutted their stuff.
All totally box office and the reason many sports fans tuned in on a Saturday night. Ellie Kildunne or Joe Marler in the ballroom? That would pull in the viewers and boost rugby’s popularity no end.
