Loving new layout but…..

New layout is better cleaner but since update been a lot of problems. Delay in responses and being stuck within a program when opening

Ads during rugby

Putting ads in the middle of a game is shocking. Can’t enjoy anything without something being sold to you.

Digital adds on the pitch are so distracting and look terrible, why can’t they just paint it on the pitch like they used to?
