Ditto. I liked Eddie Butlers commentary and BCMs comments. Great rapport.

Sherwin was good. He always got the France away fixture.

McLaren was the gold standard.

Of the more recent commentators?
Nick Mullins is pretty good.

Ignoring the likelihood/probability/possibility of doping there are plenty of factors that mean it is not quite the same The bike and clothing tech is worlds different.

It's an era where a few riders are so superior to others than they attack 10s of km away from the finish line and manage to hold the chasers and win. A new way of racing. I don't know what we are seeing these days. When I started watching the sport in 1980s, such as the TDF, the stage winners looke...

San Mig is trendy now? It's a big Philippine brand. So basically, all you've gotta do to attract a "discerning palate" is ship the thing ten thousand miles. It's no longer ubiquitous and therefore seems boutique. Not saying it's total shit, but it's just a beer. Put it this way: it's everywhere in ...

The only beer to drink, Weissebier.

You pay more for it than other stouts/ales/beers but it's worth it for Weissebier.

Scotland’s Eddie O’Sullivan. Stabilised and improved a mess but couldn’t make a breakthrough. The Scots real problem is they have no Declan Kidney ready to take over and bring them to the next level EOS and the IRFU fcked over Garland, the first Irish coach in almost forever to beat France and Engl...

I'm not convinced by Crowley. He did fine At no point in the championship did I think we are missing Sexton He’s a young lad and will be all the better for the last two months For his first championship, Crowley had a good one. He had big boots to fill and he did the job. He should only improve fro...

Could that last win by Ireland be their swan song? The production line is still ok. May take a few years to integrate the young lads. At least we won't peak mid cycle We were missing our most creative back, Hansen, and Keenan was either unavailable or had to play wing for the last three games. Fran...

Backrow have a lot to prove this week as a unit. As others have agreed with me on the need for pace in the backline, it'll be interesting to see how things develop on that front post 6nations.
