Another bloody heir apparent? We had Tony Johnson built up for years then he got shafted for the rugby world cup final by Sky. Hope this guy lasts longer but not holding my breath.
bro Tony Johnson was legit good, just got done dirty by Sky politics. Shame cos he had the voice for it.
seen Jeff do the super rugby games last season. honestly hes decent, knows his stuff, doesn't scream every try like a toddler. could be worse.
Can we just get someone who actually pronounces Maori team names correctly for once that would be a start
energy. 'Barrett' pronounced 5 different ways. it's a piss-take.
Keith Quinn was the voice of my childhood. These new blokes all sound the same to me. But I'm old and grumpy so what do I know.

ffs another commentator who will talk about the 'fabric of the game' fifty times a match. Just call the play and shut up about the 'narrative'.
Does he actually have a personality or is he another corporate robot reading the Sky script? Genuine question.
just say you like the quiet commentators lol. at least he won't have random catchphrases forced in.
The problem is no one will ever be as good as Nisbett for me. golden years of rugby commentary.
lol yeah all these 'legends' we keep producing maybe it's just the sport carrying them tbh.
