IS that pint of Guinness in front of you half-full or half-empty? Depending on your response to that question, you might regard a new survey by the brewing giants into media coverage of the Six Nations Championships as either further proof of the unfair treatment of women’s sport or as an indication that progress, albeit modest, is being made.
Nolli Waterman, for one, has an optimistic outlook. The former England captain turned broadcaster and Guinness ambassador believes that the attitudes revealed by the survey show there is an improved understanding of and support for women’s rugby, although she is also convinced that a great deal of work still needs to be done before anything approaching equality is achieved.
