The demise of ESPNscrum.com
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2016 8:15 pm
When scrum.com, one of the better specialist rugby websites, became ESPNscrum.com it was always only a matter of time before the Yanks screwed it up.
The mobile version of the site has been terrible for ages, directing you to some lightweight "anzrugby" piece of shit without even a "desktop site" option.
Now the main (and mobile) website redirects to www.espn.com.au/rugby. It is no longer a rugby specialist website but merely the Aussie version of an American general sports site. It's even got a banner of NBA fixtures or some bollocks across the top.
I've sent them a strongly worded piece of advice but I doubt it will have any effect.
The only saving grace is that statsguru is still up and running, although its probably only a matter of time before they F that in the A as well.
Any recommendations for another "go to" world rugby site? I used to read PlanetRugby and Rugby365. Are they any good still?
