RTE television coverage of the Irl/SA match

Hippo

Went to saturday's match, a truly glorious occasion. Set the video to tape the tv coverage for full drunken enjoyment of the event in the comfort of my own home, and sat down to savour same much later. Maybe I've been spoilt recently by Sky's fantastic coverage of even mundane Zurich premiership games, but this was awful. Few close-ups, poorly-selected replays, almost no use of any cameras giving a different angle. Nothing much seemed to have changed from the 1982 video of the Twickenham game they showed earlier in the week. Does it have to be this bad?

Did any one see the piss take they did on brian o driscoll after he had been interviewed, legendary. There they were the 3 of them drinking the Powerade bottles after o'driscolls interview.
RTE's coverage is more crack then SKY's boring auld coverage, what RTE lack in quality coverage they more then make up for it in humour among the panelists, even Tom Mc Gurk in the right enviroment comes across as quite likeable.

I agree completely, the panel is great. But why can't they provide a couple more cameras and then have the best all-round coverage?

Right. Glad we sorted that out then. They did the whole BOD thing before, by the way.
