    This drove me mad as well, talking about champions league as a decision was being made in the middle of play.....the commentary today has not done anything for the excitement of the match, tv3 should never be allowed get the rwc again..

    ive started recording the matches and watching 15 mins in, that way i can go straight into the second half without suffering through all the ads....

    This is painful stuff on TV3. Surely with the way Woody is going on about O'Connell, this should be on after the watershed...

    Now they are saying O'Connell will not be there tomorrow.

    Did I not read yesterday that he was returning to the camp yesterday?

    He was having his surgery yesterday. Small possibility he might be out by tomorrow but I doubt it.

    FFS, she's Fiona Steed and if you don't recognise her it only underlines your own ignorance.

    In fairness she plays women's rugby not what you'd call a mainstream sport. Could you name the Irish table tennis team?

    Jaysus sexism in sport is really rearing its ugly head with Fiona Steed as pundit. The amount of lads having zero problem tearing her to shreds is disgusting.

    If I was tuning in to watch a live broadcast of the Irish table tennis team I probably could. Yeah.

    No issue with her being a woman just don't think she is any good at punditry. People are entitled to their opinion. I have to say Shane Byrne is ****e as well.

    Agreed, I really thought the match commentary this afternoon was completely anodyne - just the same few stock phrases applied again and again and again. Had to turn off the sound eventually.

    Blow ins. She's been on before. TG4's Rugby is anchored by a woman. RTÉ are the only ones still stuck in the dark age.

    I don't know who she is but if us viewers are finding it difficult ti identify her it underlines how poor TV3s judgement is. I am assuming she is some kind of journalist.

    Nonsense. It just highlights casual sexism. Would people say the same thing about a man they couldn't identify?

    He's absolutely rubbish. How has he gotten all the big games in the tournament? Clearly hasn't a rashers about rugby.

    The way the commentators were going on you'd swear France had just thrown it away in the last 10 mins. Laughable!

    As for Fiona Steed, I really like her, and I am not just saying that because I am a woman or anything. When Byrne was trying to crack bad jokes and be funny, she was the one who directed the conversation back to the analysis. Plus I think the likes of Hook and McGuirk would die of shock if RTE had the balls (no pun intended) to stick a woman on the panel.

    They often have men commentating on women's sport, so what is wrong with a woman commentating on men's sport. Maybe she could teach Conor McNamara a few more rugby phrases, broaden his repertoire!

    I suspect a large amount of people watching the Rugby World Cup (like myself) are casual followers and therefore wouldn't have a clue about any of the irish womens rugby players.

    Its great stuff for the liberals on twitter. The "wage gap" is closing, one step closer to true "equality". I suggest a Black woman as pundit tomorrow for QF3. Then a Muslim refugee for QF4. In the semi finals try someone in a wheelchair and then maybe a Traveller.

    I think for the final a Black Muslim woman who is a lesbian, in a wheelchair might just do the trick. TV3s diversity will be through the roof. Although Travellers might be alienated.

    Imagine tuning into the Football World Cup QFs and seeing a woman soccer player on there. It wouldnt happen, its just embarrassing tokenism. Shes only there because of her gender. Is Womens rugby even professional?
