His commentating has improved out-of-sight this season.
It seems he's dialled the overly excited rugby league style boofhead persona way back and his commentating has improved drastically as a result. I quite like him now.
At least, I not longer feel the need to mute the games.
Good job big man.

I dunno. Call me an old-school purist, I just think that winning the actual match is more important than entertaining a few couch potatoes with "attacking rugby".
