Journalistic Oops

Have you ever wondered where newspaper sports journalists actually bother to attend the games that they report on? Perhaps they just watch the games on TV or something. Well here’s a clue. If the Independent’s reporter had watched yesterday’s Saracens-Blues game on TV (even in Welsh on S4C with English subtitles because the BBC was ignoring the game) then he can’t have helped but notice that the Blues player who was helped off looking much the worse for wear after scoring a try was actually Mark Lewis, not the instantly recognizable Martyn Williams. I can only conclude that the reporter was actually at the game, and perhaps had a beer or two too many during it.
