[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 275844"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Melhor Time @ Aug 25 2009, 08:29 AM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=409289']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> MT. That's assuming that the reader actually cares about the teams, players and towns/cities they represent. I don't give a fat rats arse about any of them, so I don't bother watching. Even if I did, there's no team from Marseilles (where the French part of my family comes from). They're all wendyball mad down there anyway. I did watch a little of Perpignan playing last year, but only because Dan Carter was playing. If he hadn't been there, I wouldn't have bothered. One major barrier to Top 14 in NZ is the TV coverage. In a word, its CRAP, ► the commentator doesn't know who half the players are, unless they're English. ► he can't pronounce half the French names correctly ► he obviously is not actually at the game, but in remote studio because if it ain't happening on the screen he cant tell you about it. ► the colour commentator sounds like a pommie faking a frog accent (like Officer Crabtree in 'Allo, 'Allo) Its a completely amateur set-up with crap production standards. To top it off, I cannot understand the Referees or or ARs when the talk to each other or the players, because they (obviously) speak in French. I can't be arse learning the language just so I can watch rugby I don't even care about. [/QUOTE]
