Re: Favourite Rugby Commentator
There were swathes of great Welsh commentators from the 90’s onwards. We’d get glimpses of them calling Welsh league and SWALEC cup games on Rugby Special. Passionate, erudite and knowledgeable- I bet there are still a bunch of excellent ones calling prem games.

Re: Heineken cup quarter final - Toulouse vs Exeter
Willis close to man of the match I reckon. Even closer now. Willis made a good choice to join up with this outfit. His game has improved in every facet. I think he’s playing his hand perfectly: cash in on career while still relatively young, still get a crack at a WC or two with England later on.
