Why boo him, not his fault the RFL showed no ambition or ingenuity, I am pretty sure pretty much any medalist would have done it, for an appropriate fee. (either to them, or a charity)

The RFL once again proves it has its finger on the pulse of the nation.

Brad Wiggins in a rugby fan, he would have been ideal.

Booing him will be the only time we get to tell the RFL it's the wrong decision and don't mess it up again.

You are right it's not his fault, but there are plenty of RL Fan olympians who have won Gold medals............

Wiggins is a League fan and Luke Campbell is an FC season pass holder.

Bit frustrating but not everyone can be pleased I guess.

I think that should be a standing order for all royals, at any time, so I'm probably not best placed to comment.

You can bet your bottom dollar that Pippa Middleton will be blagging a seat at the final then.
