| Both have their good and bad points.
But I think I'm going to have to go with Skys coverage of internationals over the BBCs.
However watching that posh blonde pommie sheila on the BBC who looks like a horse saying with a gasp 'Oooooh...I've just seen those Australian players and take it from me...they are big boys' does make the licence fee worthwhile.
well ....it would....if I had one 
But as annoying as Eddie Hemming and Stevo 'I used to play for Penrith you know' Stevenson are they are much better on telly |

Sky sports, at least they get the names right and Phil Clarke who knows a lot about the game has some good points to say.

Don't you find Phil Clarke the most annoying bloke on the telly (apart from Martin Offiah)? |

It was quite refreshing not to hear Hemmings or French for a change.

Match commentary?
BBC by a massive distance, including the work of Noble and Morgan in summarising.
Overall production and camera work?
Sky are massively superior, but then again they cover the sport 30-odd weeks a year every year with a regular broadcast crew, not just half a dozen times like the Beeb do.

Erm, I wouldn't have thought that the sight of 'big boys' did much for Miss Balding, if you know what I mean........ |

Its kind of like asking "Who were the most tolerant? The Nazis or the KKK?"

| I think Baldings awesome 
BBC's improved tenfold over the last few years, think I remember the rfl making a reference to it in that ofcom report but Sky are way ahead.
A couple of years ago I HATED the beeb's work but an overhaul has brought them up to scratch. Pre game on saturday they were far better than Sky acth |
