it's always mediocre but today's coverage was disgustingly poor. rabble-rousing, i think is the word.

They are seriously weak in the research department. The entire panel were unaware of the ruling on picking a player up and dropping him.

On Saturday Pienaar also seemed to be unaware that the ref can't go to the TMO to decide if someone should be sent off...

Today he was trying to justify his incorrect and gross over reaction to the red card

He's giving Matt Williams a run for his money in the "nice hair" stakes.

I actually thought their coverage today was decent. enjoyed the build-up with a nice piece on the new kiwi fly half and the bit on cooper. The commentary was okay and the post-match analysis reasonable enough - Fitzy is very strong. Shame they didn't have campo and moore from talksport.

Pienaar i didn't find so offensive today, at least he's comitted to his own nonsense. Dallaglio's a treacherous barsteward I reckon, being named Brutus suits him.
