    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

    Having the same problem here. Sadly, I don't have a TV to revert to.

    The curse of TV3. Rugby world cup 07 and I think a few soccer games they showed.

    The RTE panel are doing something online for at least the Ireland games before/HT and after the games.

    Could have given Tonga v Georgia a longer lead-in rather than more analysis of England game. I know neither will likely get out of the group but poor treatment nonetheless.

    Always thought McGuirk was a bit of a guff merchant tbh - one good or bad game for Ireland and he'd spin it as us being either the greatest or most abject rugby team on the planet.

    Is it? I wouldn't know, the tv3 payer isn't working. I could tell you about 90% of the last 12 ads I've seen trying to watch the world cup are like. I fcuking should have known tv3 were going to be sh1te.

    My impression watching last night was that i have been subjected to TV3 ads for this world cup for over a year. TV3 soccer presenters have had to pidgeon hole a plug for TV3's coverage of RWC15 into every piece of coverage for ages and ages now.

    So, last night was pretty disappointing. All that time they have been preparing for this and we get Matt Cooper and the 2007 vibe. Where there not people working on this? Really looked like no thought went into it at all. Zero originality.

    This may sound silly but my UPC says that the Tonga game is being shown til 1pm and then they are leaving it and jumping into pre-match analysis for the Ireland game. Wouldnt put it past TV3. If so, the thing should be taken off them and given back to RTE today, amateurs

    That's exactly what's happening. Second half is on 3e. They want to give more build up time to Ireland.

    Commentary for Tonga V Georgia isn't bad, last nights sounded like they were covering American football,
    Did the stadium blast music while Fiji were doing their Haka(?) last night?

    It's a bit ridiculous alright, never mind the fact that we don't need 90 minutes of build up to the Ireland match. Or 45 minutes if you take out all the ads.

    Is the commentary on TV3 from the TV3 team or are they just using ITV's stream?

    Yes, disrespectful IMO, but nothing of the sort today thankfully. Today's TV3 commentary seems to be the world feed. It's not ITV's though.

    Didn't mind the coverage last night, it's bland cliched stuff aimed at the casual fan, you expect that but splitting the game today in two across the 2 channels is a pain in the hole

    90 min build up is a joke,

    Again, on the Fiji "haka" thing last night. I'm pretty sure they didn't actually play music over it. They didn't actually show the "haka" live and were showing video highlights with the live audio stream which was where the music was coming from. According to twitter though the fans did sing loudly over it. Maybe that's why ITV cut the live coverage because they knew people wouldn't be impressed with the singing?
