The following is an excerpt from my newspapers article on the Sale v Lweicester Ru game and ITV's coverage of it
"Miles Harrison's commentary was deftly informative to potential new viewers while falling short of patronisingto regular fans. Legal nuances such as the 50/20 kicking rule or breakdown infringements were explained in an understandable and light mannerwith the help of the always chortlesome David Flatman"

The complete opposite of the rabble on Sky methinks!

I've said before that TV does a good job generally on RU;I think Flatman is very good too, and as noted, strikes the right balance between the casual viewer and the more knowledgeable. Let's hope Channel 4 can do something similar with SL.

I honestly don't know if I can stand another year of Stuart Pyke sounding like he's trying to hold a fart in, Terry O'Connor commenting the most basic, inane drivel and Ben Proe's voice cracking through every word he speaks like a pubescent boy.

The premier sports coverage of York vs Fev was really good last night and made you long for a new broom sweeping through the Sky coverage.
