[QUOTE="shtove, post: 147192"] Pienaar is brilliant. Nothing to do with ITV. His jokey-jokey false modesty is slightly painful, but he spots the smart, crucial plays and analyses them brilliantly. Greenwood is fine, but what the England studio set up needs is an Eamon Dunphy, the Millwall soccer player turned journalist, who supported Roy Keane through all his ups and downs and used to throw spectacular hissy fits on RTE whenever Ireland were playing. He had people glued to their screens all over the country during Italia '90, and he's still doing it. But rugby types don't go in for that kind of thing. If you want to see how bad they get, watch UTV - still stuck in the '70s, with dull men droning on in their cheap suits in front of cardboard sets. Brian Moore is the answer - the only one who shows passion. But he's on holiday ... squashing frogs in his hobnail boots. [/QUOTE]
