    RTE radio 1.
    Not to be missed. Corky is the best match commentator by a country mile.

    No he is not, he is probably the most biased commentator I have ever heard on any station.

    People complain about the UK stations, this guy is 100 times worse.

    He is a disgrace

    In your opinion. I gave mine. He is entertaining and for somebody who has never played the game of a substantial level, his rugby knowledge exceeds many who man the mike in other broadcasts.
    There are very few 'neutral' commentators. However I don't have thin skin so this doesn't bother me.

    Lighten up.

    I honestly dont care who is commentating or how biased they are, so long as I get to hear them say "Ireland are thru to the semi final"..... :)

    Great moment during his commentary for Ireland v Scotland during the 6 nations:

    "and the ball is kicked along the ground by Sexton. Actually it wasn't Sexton, but they all look the same"

    :D

    If you have a phone with the "tunein" internet radio app, there's a NZ station called Sport Talk which can have some interesting commentary!
