[QUOTE="KingsHolmKid, post: 376271, member: 47840"] You are well served if you have Sky and ESPN. And, I do. The studio that Sky use for Rugby Club instantly gives me a thunderous headache, and makes we want to vomit up my internal organs, but on the whole, the pundits are insightful and engaging; Will Greenwood in particular. ESPN's new fangled portable studio is also interesting, as the team found out last night at Kingsholm when the closing analysis was amusingly punctuated by a rabble of cheeky Gloucester fans shouting incoherently and smiling uncontrollably at themselves on the TV monitors. In general, I think televised rugby benefits from a much higher standard of punditry than football, because rugby culture produces must more rounded, modest and thoughtful human beings. Even player interviews can be compelling sometimes. As a rule, footballers have little charisma, and watching them giving interviews makes me wish I had never been born. [/QUOTE]
