A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain
coach.

I'm only surprised Blarney hasn't managed to worm his way into their set up as he gets everywhere else'"
Yeah, i agree.... it was a great threesome commentary team. wasnt that Voss the man that done the footy show?
Enjoyed watching the game and not getting annoyed by pish..! the wales italy game on the other hand  |

Miles better than sky. I find it highly embarrassing that every other sports coverage on sky is absoulutely bang on apart from RL.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

That would still be too complicated for viewers in 'Yarkshire' !!!  |

Baz and Tez. Probably the most stereotypical, cringeworthy bag of garbage iv ever seen. I bet fans of other sports tune in, burst out laughing, and then switch it off.

Thats mainly because they have all had refreshed commentary teams over the years. Rugby League kind of has but Eddie & Stevo still linger on. To be honest I don't think it needs much. Cut the gimmicks (Phil Clarke could go entirely for me, he's reduced himself to spouting irrelevant nonsense), seperate the studio from commentary box entirely and have different commentary teams (just two people, three at a push) between the two games each weekend. They could do that and still cut the staff list by about half. |

Just a word of caution here. I 100% agree the World Cup coverage has generally been fantastic, but it is not the norm for Premier Sports. Once the tournament is over all the Aussie commentators return to the NRL, which is fantastic.
The Championship games are in my opinion worse than Sky in relation to the commentary. Really poor. Usually Dave Woods and Brian Noble, along with a Championship player and at times it can be painful.
