    As bad as TV3 is compared to RTE or the BBC, ITV's "sir clive" love-in is just sad to watch and then theres stuff like this http://www.sportsjoe.ie/rugby/itvs-commentator-has-just-said-an-incredibly-disrespectful-thing-about-fiji/40367

    The commentary on ITV is fine, and with amount of ads you don't get much of Woodward. Anyway, if Ireland had a world cup winning coach we'd be the very same, it's understandable for an English station.

    Barnes is great. Knows his audience and isn't pro England at all. Was complimenting Ireland earlier on, should be an interesting listen the next two months.

    I enjoyed the pre match build up on tv3, but the picture appalling in comparison to Itv HD.

    Oh no, not Matt Cooper. He is totally and utterly clueless about sport and tries to speak with authority on every topic with his "super cynical" attitude.

    The first thing I hear after the match tonight form him is: "Ah come on now, there was 5 or 6 angles that didn't show he got there. The one that shows he got there could of been an optical illusion, shur. Why can we just ignore the other ones?"

    Matt, you haven't a ****ing notion.

    He's going to be particularly annoying as many of the games will be on "sat-her-days"

    generally I like Barnes. He'll call it as he sees it. If England are woeful he'll definitely say it.

    Kind of ironic that the interview ended in a blank green screen.

    Doesn't look like its coming back either. Nice one TV3!

    Watched on itv hd which is free on sky. Pretty good overall. English a bit nauseating but given that they are hosting tournament and clearly very excited I was happy to look past that to a lovely crisp picture.

    Nope. ITV/STV/UTV NI have the exclusive English speaking rights to the Rugby World Cup (S4C in Wales are covering it in Welsh) In Ireland Tv3 have a similar deal struck.

    I see TV3 HD is on Sky if you have a HD subscription and eVision at no extra cost (surprised eircough aren't making a big deal about that) what about UPC?

    Hard to believe the HD thing for viewers in the Republic in this day and age!

    To think I'm a tad disappointed there is no 4K coverage of the WC never mind HD!

    We still don't have 1080p broadcasts shur. UPC and EVision are only 720p. Don't know what Sky offer.

    I didn't think Woodward was that bad. Yes he keeps harking back to 2003 but it's only natural. It's a clever move by ITV. Woodward is someone most non rugby fans in England will recognise. As of course is JW.

    To be fair to ITV they have basically borrowed the BT rugby team plus Miles Harrison for six weeks so it can't be that bad.

    I thought Hugo McNeill was quite good and had a very good grasp of how Joe goes about his business. Clearly an intelligent man who knows his rugby. Woody also adds a bit and it was he who picked up the truck and trailer for England's first try. I was frustrated that the commentators hadn't seen it, so I was pleased with Woody there :).

    Is there full match replays with analysis online? I was working late last night and was lucky enough to get 3e coverage from about 15 mins into the game, but there was no analysis, there were ad breaksbreaks, and the match was edited down a wee bit like it was extended highlights really disrupted my enjoyment of the game.

    When Connor MacNamara started doing commentary I thought he was really good. Haven't heard him in ages and whatever accent classes he's taking ain't working out.

    It's pretty obvious his knowledge of rugby is limited. On a few occasions when the ref awarded a pen it was simply 'penalty to England' and I'm guessing he hadn't a clue why. Probably doesn't really matter to rugby people, but it won't help to hold the fairweather watcher when no explanation is given.

    I enjoyed the 2 analysts bit it's a pity TV3 didn't get another anchor. It's all a bit like
    'Sure we had Matt Cooper for GAA, we may as well get him for the RWC'.
    I assume last night was the 'A' team. Be interesting to see what other studio line ups are in store.

    I thought TV3 would get some more of Newstalks crew/guests.

    Cooper hosted the last world cup for them too. I think he's grand on the oul wireless but he's not as comfortable on the telly.

    He's just bad. Arguing about the angle that showed Vunipola's try being the only one and not being conclusive because it was the only one...

    And then Muddy Wulliams getting all confused about the first try; both agreeing and disagreeing with Woody without really explaining...

    ...and the interview with Joe Sch... [green screen] :mad:

    It was the 2007 WC the last time Cooper hosted. RTE had the last one.

    They should have gone with Tommy Martin,he's not too bad and a proper sportsguy. Looking forward to Shane Jennings and Neil Back input.

    Thought the whole thing is a bit amateurish alright. Bring back the RTE coverage. Its a crying shame that the coverage of the national team wont be shown on national channel. Like I hate George hook as much as next guy but hes got the entertainment factor. Just feels more normal to watch the Rugby on RTE. And I have totally to agree with people who talk about Matt cooper. The man doesn't have a clue about sport. He aint no Tom Mcguirk
