Quote: Walton13 "Clare Balding has read alot about the sport, but doesnt have the in depth knowledge you would get from a RU presenter such as Inverdale (who hates RL!)'"
When you look at the recent past presenters of RL on the BBC, you'll see that Balding has more indepth knowledge than the likes of Rider and Inverdale (who actually has presented RL previously).
Quote: Walton13 "We need a RL person presenting who can represent the sport,'"
No necessarily. John Davies did a great job presenting the 2008 RLWC on Sky Sports and he's not reknowned as a RL person. He had two guest analysts, in which one of them, Paul Cullen, helped him out immensely due to his articulate nature and his knowledge of the game.
The other, err, anaylst was Martin Offiah.
