Quality of rugby media - TV Shows etc

[Dan54]

Think on the whole discusion on rugby shows, I am a pretty avid watcher of ARP, my favourite, still watch Breakdown even if I find it frustrating, but it's rugby. I do think we all get/want different things from these shows, and as we tend to be rugby nutters, we perhaps enjoy the better format of ARP which is proper rugby, and Breakdown is probably aimed at the more causl rugby person?

ABs YouTube channel had a ‘watch along’ for the Chiefs v Crusaders game. It’s a concept that could work with the hosts

Not sure who they think the audience for this is

As much as I dislike TJ's commentary during Blues/Crusaders-Cantab/ Ta$man matches I always watched Reunion without fail ... I've barely seen any episodes of the Breakdown.

You should listen to James McConie. You’ll love him.

CHIEFS MAAAAANNNAAAAA!!!

Bah, I had just finally blocked that from my mind.

More proof in game 1 that TJ should stick to hosting rather than commentating "his teams".

Kirwan stating pre match that he had never heard of Reihana really sums up the level of preparation that some of these pundits put in.....

The funniest part for me was when he was talking about the non try he kind of half missed Fihaki actually scoring his try so wasn't at his usual over excitedness.

On the positive side - Aaron Cruden a nice addition to the punditry

I hope Sky is paying him well as he was meant to be playing for NY in MLR before they folded.

Blow for grassroots rugby as Sky drops two shows

They are dubbed the 'Country Calendar of rugby’.

Grassroots Rugby and Mainfreight Rugby cancelled

Richard Mason's comments about Sky are so true:

“They have already found cheaper ways to produce sport, off-site commentary and taking feeds from inexperienced streaming services that look like poop.

Boo - they were always a good lazy day watch and gave your average joe's a chance to get on TV
