Give me RSA or NZ commentators every time. The3 French are wonderful and I don't mind the Kearnsey mob in Oz. Oz commentators on Seven are pathetic and like the BBC's Barnes don't know a lot of the rules.

BRING BACK BUDDHA!!!!!!!

I am Jake White fan, i would love him to coach the Boks again but let me tell you Pdv is also a great coach, English and Aus coaches in general are very biased , remember Pdv has won a u/21 world cup just like jake , jake lost almost all his games in 2006 and won the World Cup the next, Ausies and English when last did u win something. From 2004 till present RSA and NZ has dominated World rugby . Ausies u couldnt even beat the NZ in 10 games.

twoeightnine - belatedly I must say that I enjoyed your comment. On occasions have felt I was watching a different game to the commentator. Have still to find out why the ref penalized the Boks after the Wallabies threw in their line-out short. It led to the try that won them the game. What was Bobby Skinstad thinking? Hey mate, we like to know these things and consider it your job! Have also read post-game reports in newspapers and wondered if the journalist had been at the same game.

Meneer is right in regard to commentators. Hugh Blyden and Joel Stransky are pretty fair, in fact particularly fair - sometimes too generous toward visiting teams - while most Aussie commentators are appallingly one-eye'd. Almost drive you to hurl your remote through the t.v screen! Absolute half-wits! And then we've heard some real one-eye'd twits in the UK.

That aside, Richard Anderson has my blessing to say anything he pleases about Oregan Hoskins, SARU, and Peter de Villiers. Between the three of them they have dragged down Springbok rugby and the brand to an astoundingly low level, and shamed the country. The lunatic Idi Amin could barely have done worse if in charge. No board of directors in a normal private enterprize would tolerate such failure and the utter ineptitude behind it. Watching these gremlins at work has now become a daily comedy of errors with people overseas gleefully awaiting the next episode. This is a live Goon-type show, but not featuring Spike Milligan, just a couple of silly, out-of-their-depth, nitwits with the brains of a turnip. Next think Punch magazine will have a weekly feature, not of the sayings of Mao TseTung, but 'The sayings of Peter de Villiers'. Maybe they'll even come up with a 'little green book' containing this and make a killing selling it. This rugby situation in South Africa is truly unbelievable.

The best SA/Aussie/Kiwi commentator is a MUTED commentator.

Eddie Butler! The only reason he isn't biased as he seems to rarely be watching the same game as me so I doubt he has worked out he is watching Wales.

All commentators show bias depending on your own bias. That is why sport takes hours in the pub to disagree over. I like the Aussie commentators. Yes, they can be one eyed but they also give it out if their team is playing badly too. Having said that I only hear them in tests that I am a neutral in so perhaps not the same frustration.

Meneer I so agree with your comments but dont include Kafer with the other Oz idiots and as for the whingeing whining Moore enough said. Dont be surprised Anderson is a plonker and writes as usual with that superior knowledge of a colonialist. After all us mere colonials should know our place and bow to the superior knowledge of one rom the Mother country to whom we owe so much.He writes many articles that show him to be so out of touch with the game and of course like all Imperialists knows more about our culture and countries than we do. He should be ashamed to accept any payment for the dribble he writes for surely it is accepting payment under false pretences.

Well done Richard you understanding of PDV selection is as bad as N, Hemiphere refs calling of new laws.

Meneer was right about you. For your info PDV lost the vote to Meyer BY 13 TO 2 in the selection process. The medeling politicians forced this on SARU and tried to offer Meyer another role to keep everyone happy. Meyer declined and this info would of come out so Hoskins did the right thing in letting SA public know why he was elected.

Honesty goes a long way, PDV was always going to be a failure which is why the rest of the world rugby should support him. For the good of rugby in SA PDV should step down, if he really supports the boks then do the right thing.

Boks forever
