I was very tempted to switch to the Aussie commentators. TJ has never been worse than he was in Rustenburg.

A pity we couldn't select the refs feed like in Super rugby.

The FTA station here has Gordon Bray

I'd rather stab my ears with a fork. Repeatedly.

[NTA]

@antipodean Yes. The attempts to give everyone a nickname loosely based on the place they grew up or went to school are, regrettably, still in place.

Get these guys into the Sky box:

@nta Agree completely NTA, I had the channel 10 a couple of tests this year and thought they very good

[booboo]

Not sure who BEIN Sports got their feed off. Am pretty sure it was Miles Harrison and Moore doing the comms work.

But fuck! Scott Quinnell!

You expect to hear English with a hint of accent, rather than accent with a hint of English.

@rocky-rockbottom that's odd, as noted by nepia, Smith is solid hurricanes.

[Siam]

Best commentary team I've ever heard:

[MN5]

I wish Bill McLaren was still alive. All other commentators suck shit compared to him.

[Bones]

@mn5 I'm surprised you know he's not alive. Very progressive.

last week's cantabs loss commentator: SUMO
this week's cantabs loss commentator: NESBO

NO TJ.

Sumo & Nesbo calling the cantabs games. The commentary booth windows, a standard, transparent consistency without TJ's steamy red & black self-love fogging up the whole show, no sign of his gallons and gallons of man-spunk sluicing down the panes

NO TJ.

Ergo, visa visor, THE CANTABS COLLAPSE WITHOUT THEIR #1 CHEERLEADER EXHORTING THEM ON TO GREATER HEIGHTS. No sideline Smithy either, buttressing his liege's ear with breathy and breathless pied-up incantations of the glory of Izzy. Fat Guts Smithy must be currently bedside at the infirmary ward, plucking Izzy's truss around straight for him, his hand lingering just that beat too long under the motherfucking bedcovers.

Yet another magnificent rant. Bravo .

His love for Israel Dagg is a love that transcends teams. Probably warps space and time too, it is that strong.

Smith supports the Hurricanes, officially, but you can tell where his heart lies.

Nah, he loves Dagg, but he loves the Canes equally, he'ss from the Poo (not the Bay ), is obsessive about the Bay, and loves Beudan only slightly less than Israel.

Thought I'd crank out an old thread!

Why the hell do they now do this cut to coaches box thing around the twenty minute mark? Does anyone like it or get anything out of it?

I'm sure they copied from a sport overseas, they don't have any ideas of their own. The only situation I can think of is the NBA coaches get interviewed after each quarter

It's just awkward and boring.

"Hey Leon, some good stuff has happened, you must be happy with that?"

*Yeah that good stuff has been going well, although a couple of minor bad stuffs, but that other good stuff is promising."

"Yeah and good to see [playerwithonecarrytohisname] getting busy and into the action?"

"Yeah he did something."

Thrilling stuff
