Of course people are entitled to their views but that doesn't make them right!
BBC commentators are the worst, full stop. I guess the thing is I don't pay any attention when the commentary is good as I'm focusing on the game.

TF1 put football's commentators because they don't have any rugby tradition. They won the rights for World Cups but they don't give a **** between the three other years.
Thierry Gilardi is really bad. He learned a few notion before this Cup, such as "ligne d'avantage", so he put it everywhere, "Ligne d'avantage over here ; ligne d'avantage over there..." It was really funny to see him trying to explain the rules and Thierry Lacroix trying to make it correct "Euh... No Thierry, the rules says...'' :bleh!:
Thierry Lacroix is a really good commentator. He is very clear in his explainations, he is very helpful with beginers.
Christian Jeanpierre is the worst ever. He was already commentator for WC 99, along with Bernard Laporte. He did not know the rules at that time ; he still don't know how to play rugby !!! His consultants were former flanker Eric Champ, great player but really poor TV commentator, and former 9 Aubin Hueber. <_<
Commentators on France 2 (VI Nations and H-Cup) and Canal Plus (Top 14 and Super 14) are really better.
I keep an eye on the new one : Thomas Castaignède... Not sure he is made for the job...

I personally find Hook very entertaining to listen to, even if you disagree with the points he is making.
I despise those clowns on Setanta though!

Was Thierry Gilardi the one shouting "OOOUUUUIIII! OOOUUUUIIII!" during the France vs New Zealand Rugby World Cup QF?
As for my favourite commentator..

Most of them are pretty dreadful, although i hate Andrew Cotter the most. Complete tosser who has no patriotic drop of blood in his body just ridicules Scotland. The best is Hugh Bladen, love the accent love the man. Jonathan Edwards is a good pundit, the likes of Mexted and Kearns are garbage.

Hugh Bladen is a legend and is unrivalled in SA. Simply the best. Him and Joel Stransky make a very good commentary team. Stransky is refreshingly unbias, at least in my view.

My favourites are the guys commentating the NRL. They're funny and listening to them makes you somehow excited (like when ther's a big hit for ex).

Yep, that's the one. Unfortunately he passed away not too long ago.

Hahaha yeah I don't like Mexted sometimes but I his comments are pretty funny every now and then. I reckon some of the aussie commentators are pretty good because they cheer for both sides on the field not just their own with the exception of Kearnzie.
