Not tongue in cheek. I am genuinely praising TV3 for having a female analyst on during the men's rugby world cup.

Fair enough. And I agree with you. I got that from your post but I also thought you were taking the mickey out of the old school, chauvinistic attitude that used to be prevalent in rugby. Maybe I read it wrong.

Yeah, maybe the tone was a little sarcastic. But the praise was genuine.

Argentina were pretty impressive. Always said when they find some backs they'll be good and it looks like they have found 4 or 5

TV3 doing the usual today of showing half a match on one channel then switching it to another to do 90 minutes of build up to the Ireland game.

Italy/Romania is only half a match. Absolutely dead

Enjoyed Fiona Steed in the studio this morning. And I was a bit worried that she might only be asked for token comments but her analysis was great, and I really don't think RTÉ would have done that

I know TV3 dont get public funding and it was fair achievement for them to outbid RTE on the world cup coverage, but my god the ads just make the panel section of the program unwatchable...

I dont watch a lot of TV, but I'm pretty sure I've watched more ads in the four weeks than in the previous four years..

Anyone know the name of that song in the Keith Wood promo for the Ireland/France match?

My main gripe with that was when you'd have the game set to record only to arrive home with the crucial second half if a match missing

The commentator on Tv3 " Say what you like about the French, but they have one of the great national anthems"

Wtf?

**** all analysis - due too too many add's - seriously

I feel bad for the ones that can't get UTV, TV3's coverage is a joke and hopefully those who can get UTV or ITV switch and hurt TV3's coverage.

Yea, but the UTV/ITV programme has now ended and TV 3 are still motoring. Having said that, I watched the game on ITV HD !!!!!

I gave tv3 the swerve and watched it on Itv hd,was it that bad?

I'm watching the tv3 live player and there have been adverts on for the last ****ing 10 minutes non stop. Is this normal?

How long is the game over now and still no mention of Sob punch? Ridiculous

Can anyone else hear the voices in the background on TV3?

Yes..not hearing voices in my head so

Great win but at a cost. Just wondering if the TV3 commentators are actually at the game? Seemed very slow to mention the injuries to Sexton, O'Connell and O'Mahony. Seemed to me they were rabbiting on about something else until the downed players came into TV shot?

Vicious punch. Link to the video: https://vine.co/v/e00TQj0OpTa

On TV3? It was the first thing they spoke about. They showed the video before any of the trys

Rate the analysis (studio & commentary) on TV3 higher than RTE. Jennings gives great insights and Williams has a real enthusiasm for the game. Wood is decent but the BBC might have made him a bit bland. :P

Toland and Barnes are great on commentary, pity about the lengthier ad breaks.

not condoning what O'brien , did , but repeated playing in slow-mo , makes it look a lot worse , anyone who played the game know these things happen . shouldn't have done it , but its a physical game, France talking all week about taking Sexton out , and they do just that , there always 2 sides

TV3 cutting to an ad break before the Japanese had even kicked the ball out to end the half. FFS!!!!!!

I hate the ads. The actual ads themselves, I hate them. I hate Virgin, I hate that painkiller Superhero dad ads, I hate the air ad with the tribal Irish music, I hate the Heineken ad with the gob****e with the coin. I hate all of them. But I can name all of them, and I guess that is what counts.

My personal protest is to never go near any of the products advertised during this farcical and pathetic coverage.

they did a feature with williams and wood about an hour before the ireland game. when they get into the technical stuff its quite good, its just so many ad breaks though. if they got a decent host in it would be a good watch
