    3 people can work, the radio commentary on RTE showed this. Just depends on how they play off each other, Conor O'Shea on the radio seemed to sit back until lulls or when called upon, which worked great...

    Exactly, I didn't even know he was on until about 5 minutes after I started listening! I thought it was just the main commentator (can't think of his name?) and Donal Lenihan on their own.

    I must say Liam Toland does love a good stat especially during the English game on Saturday night! I'm enjoying analysis from Shane Jennings particularly when he was accompanying Shane Byrne last Friday... both very different personalities but insightful all the same.

    I'd just like to see more analysis rather than the long add break.....thats my only problem with them and the 3 player app could be updated a bit quicker...

    Sky Sport

    Edit: maybe the Italy games are on FTA, I don't know.

    I found this link that details the worldwide television coverage broadcasters. You got there before me!

    Looks like Ireland and the UK are the only countries showing the entire tournament Free to air. Hopefully that remains the case for years to come.

    I'm glad it is but you'd think the countries where they're trying to build the sport should be the ones airing it all for free. I think in the US they're airing just the US matches for free, all the rest are PPV. Even showing the rest of that pool for free would be a good idea.

    Don't do Free in America

    Hmm probably won't get that in my hotel......anyway, I wouldn't care for an Italian commentary. It'll be TV3 so.

    I'd rather the Italian commentary (which I wouldn't understand) to the TV3 commentary.

    I know but there's no reason for it not to be on the HD channel.

    I wouldn't trust him. He's ignored half the country when he said it stretches from Toronto to Vancouver.

    I've noticed their twitter account is including players @'s in tweets about making mistakes or having bad games. Not very professional.
