Warrington) and ITV 1 with the rugby union Premiership final (Bath v. Northampton). It will be interesting to see the ratings battle there.
Ratings are in for the FTA rugby head-to-head, and it's a narrow win for rugby union, once TNT Sports is included. On BBC One v ITV 1 only, probably a narrow win for the rugby league though.
The rugby league is down a little on last year, though the context given below makes that understandable.
Both governing bodies should be reassured with the figures watching in the stands and on TV yesterday, both were more than reasonable.
