The collage they showed when coming back from the ads was an embarrassment. Anyone unfamiliar with the sport would thing that England players just run over for flamboyant tries all the time. Nothing for the Argies; and reliant on clips from quite a few seasons ago! I agree on the pundit team. Clive Wankword has milked more from the 2003 RWC than Aberdeen FC have done from their ECWC win last century. It would be like bringing Chesney Hawkes along to comment on the Mercury Music Awards. I have a lot of time, though, for Maggie Alphonsi. She's lovely. And, more importantly, she isn't a smug know-it-all. Nice to see a Scotland (MyName5Doddie) shirt there in among the Argie supporters. Oh! and there's Mrs Prince William in the crowd when her and her family couldn't be arsed to go and see the Lionesses in the World Cup Final. France has a long history of being a dangerous place for royals to be. I hope she's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
