Re: Favourite Rugby Commentator
Bill McLaren is obviously the GOAT. Gordan Bray was the GOAT Aussie commentator. But most of the others are way too boof-head, league style.

Sean Maloney - Aus commentator
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.
