Prime please :D.

I quite enjoyed their AI coverage, their commentators actually seemed to enjoy rugby, makes the games more enjoyable when the commentators are having fun and describing whats going on. Rather than moaning about "another scrum" or "another kick", tell us why, make it interesting, explain, be excited and draw the crowd in!

They did that for football, but instead of simply muting they had all the crowd noises. It was a bit weird at first, but I really like it.

Yep, that was nice too at times, with the crowd noise, and if I remember, ref mic.

I've heard IPTV is excellent.
My friend pays £40 a year and paid £20 for a firestick which they had to jail break.

Not yet.

Can we not pollute the tournament thread with these crap wind up attempts?

If you really must, just bump the existing thread.

That thread isn't used much anymore. I'll stick to this one, but post a bit less about the Boks joining the 6N.

U20's Ireland V England on tonight at 19:45 GMT

Match is live on BBC Red Button 1, & Virgin 2 in Ireland

Usually much more entertaining than the main event match

I tuned out for a minute there - is this game using the 20 minute red card?

Yeah; & if England continue to do dumb shit like this latest YC, they'll need it to keep 12 players on the pitch

It would be nice to go at least 2 minutes without a penalty.

He knows what he's done there. Lucky to get away with penalty only.

England's discipline has not been good.

Very sorry lads for casting a mockers on this match by bigging up the quality of previous ones.

It is pretty foul weather down in Cork, but this is definitely one for the purists

Definitely not a game that's going to live long in the memory.

I'll feel a lot better with another score of some sort. 6 point gap in these conditions has jammy/random Ireland try to win the game written all over it...

Massive in the side by 20 on the second drive, unsurprisingly missed by one of the worst refs I've seen in a while

Enjoy the co commentator seamlessly switching from calling the Ireland 20 "unlucky" for conceding the penalty try to losing her mind over Friday cleaning out a player 1v1 from a slight angle
