A great days rugby yesterday on TV, but who gets the worst commentator/pundit award. Got to be between Jiffy and Eddie Butler. My vote would go to Jiffy

It's probably worth pointing out (or not, depending on how intelligent people are) that there is no right/wrong answer here. It's purely down to personal preference.

Eddie Butler is terrible.

The gloss has come off Moore too as he just can't stop moaning, he is so Frak negative and self righteous!

But still butler and his wannabe poetry just destroys the game for me. And his stupid ore match carp he cones up with.

Butler was awful yesterday, from his over-pronounced French names (often corrected by Castaignede, though even Thomas gave up with " Roaaaari Ko-co") to mis-identifying players. I know they both had scrum caps on, but if you are unable to tell the difference between Haskell and Nowell you have a problem.

I think it was Butler who was calling Liam Williams, George North last week (as did the guy yesterday). Also, he does have a habit of over-pronouncing the French names yes.

Did he make that mistake? Shocked Oh dear.

On scrumcaps............... every wearer seems to play about 15% more abrasively than a non wearer.  Perhaps they should be compulsory? Wink

Not over-pronounced French names so much as correctly pronounced ones. EB was, after all, in another incarnation a French teacher at, I think, Cheltenham College.

Smart bloke and I think a very good commentator. Even St Bill of McLaren could be a bit over-poetic at times and EB's way is infinitely preferable to most of his contemporaries, with the possible exception of Cotter, who I think is extremely capable in any of the sports to which he turns his hand in the commentary box.

Of the summarisers, I still like Moore and Matthews who are happy enough to call things as they see them. The rest are much of a muchness - an extremely forgettable muchness. Nicol possibly the worst but he has stiff competition from the studio pundits, who are uniformly banal in their utterances.

Apparently 10 million people watched the finale yesterday. Rugby needs the game to remain on the BBC. More money for less exposure isn't a good enough trade off.

Yes, I can hardly wait for Harrison, Barnes and the rest of the over-excitable, lowest-common-denominator mob on Sky to take their turn again.

The Daily Mail made flesh, that lot.

Oh I'm not in the 'Get rid of Butler - or indeed Inverdale - but then I've given up looking at the BEEB coverage. I used to zip over and back between BBC and RTE, now I don't bother.

But I just find Butler's poetry sessions funny - not a reason to ban him! Clarkson would lose all his current anti-hero status if that happened Wink

Not only did Butler mistake Nowell for Haskell (JN making a tackle on his wing), he also mistook Robshaw for Marler when CR was chasing after a charge down.

And of course a few years ago there was the continual mis-identification of Robshaw as Croft.

Have to say that the i-player is a great invention: I can start watching delayed 15 minutes, missing all the pre-match carp, and then skim through the half time nonsense and be back to watching pretty much live in the 2nd half. OK, it reduces the drinking game possibilities, but that's no bad thing...

This is how the Culture Vulture Satelite guys work. Let everyone else do the years and years of growth and product placement work and collect the sponsorship interest, then come in. take over, kill the audience but grow the price of ICELAND ad breaks....

Nice.

Lovely product.

Andy Nicol should be replaced by Paterson (although he seems to be sneaking his way into commetary!)

the worst at the weekend was by far martyn williams who started laughing when Wales started running in tries!

I don't care how passionate he is, as a commentator you should be professional enough not to laugh at another team like that!

I think Jiffy gets a bad deal on here, I find him quite knowledgeable on the game and he explains quite a lot during the game as well, and he will say it as it is. I love his "Right, what we've got here, if you just wind it back a bit" lines where he tells you who should be standing where and who should be defending what, ok he might have a bit of a high pitch voice, but his understanding of the game is second to none.

Don't want to spoil your day, but Inverdale has been signed by ITV for their RWC coverage.

The good side is that they have Dayglo, Wilko, Billy Whiz and not so good SCW.

I'd be very surprised if we was laughing at Italy. I suspect he was maybe laughing because some of the scores were very nice and pretty long range and pretty unwarrenball like (particularly the one where we went pretty much coast to Coast).

Jonny Wilkinson, Lawrence Dallaglio, Jason Robinson and the coach who led them to that famous victory, Sir Clive Woodward, will all be studio pundits for the tournament.

Former scrum-half George Gregan, who skippered Australia that day and also played in the victorious 1999 Wallabies side, is also part of ITV's line-up.

Former Wales and Ireland skippers Gareth Thomas and Brian O'Driscoll will also be involved in the coverage, which will be led by presenter John Inverdale.

Former British and Irish Lions and Scotland coach Sir Ian McGeechan, victorious 1995 South Africa captain Francois Pienaar, New Zealand's Sean Fitzpatrick, Australia's Michael Lynagh, former England international David Flatman and England Women World Cup winner Maggie Alphonsi complete the list of pundits.


Craig Doyle and Mark Durden-Smith will also be presenters for the tournament. Joining them with a wealth of experience in the commentary box will be Nick Mullins, Miles Harrison, Jon Champion, Martin Gillingham and Simon Ward, plus co-commentators Geordan Murphy, Scott Hastings, Shane Williams and Ben Kay.


Bringing viewers all the latest developments from in and around the venues will be reporters Jill Douglas, Martin Bayfield, Fran Donovan and Gabriel Clarke.


So, plentiful diversity of nationalities.

Having re-watched the England v France game, I have to apologise to Butler, as the mis-identification of Robshaw for Marler was by Moore (wasn't a charge down either but on chasing a loose ball).
