[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 680076, member: 50236"] JW and WG are big mates......whenever JW was to be interviewed by Sky, they always sent Will as there is such a long time bond there but they are two very intelligent people with great and deeply thought out views on and knowledge of rugby! I am afraid that there is no one on BT that can hold a candle to either of them and think JW will be as big a hit as WG has proven through the years! Add to them the likes of Dean Ryan, Pat Sanderson and another one that I forget, and Sky have the pundits as only Healey from BT comes anywhere near! Commentary wise, neither channel, generally, is better than the other (although I think BT try harder with their midweek studio messing about but then they have time to fill)........they both have verbose idiots (Dewi/Dawson), and annoying voices (Iuean/Dallaglio) but then anyone is better than the rubbish we have to endure when the games are in Australia!! Best to just tune out the commentators and pundits and concentrate on watching the rugby............ I do find it difficult when it is obvious that, for some games, the commentators and pundits are obviously in the studio and have not bothered to travel to the game....it is more when they each have/had the right to screen French games I would have to say. Can anyone confirm who the pictures are generated by? Is it one external company or does each station actually deploy their own employees and equipment to the UK games they each cover (obviously overseas games are piped to them!)? [/QUOTE]
