Not that concerned. I watched all the RWC on TV3 and it was fine.

The only thing that was bloody annoying was the amount of commercial breaks.....and especially the one between the anthems and kick-off. I'd prefer they had the break during the anthems and then be back in plenty of time before kick-off, rather than 5 seconds before it.

I must admit to enjoying RTE coverage of the 6 Nation with the exception of that chube McGurk. Like Shan, I too watched the RWC on TV3. Vast improvement on the drivel provided by ITV.. We shall just have to wait and see how good their coverage will be.

Spot on about McGurk MUM. He is gone now thank feck so at least we get 2 years of 6n on RTE without him.

Bar the last day of the 6 nations last season and our grand slam I can't actually recall too many 6 nations games worth watching anyway
I call it the 6 nations but I should be using its new title of the 5th placed playoffs.

Ah it's ok, in my disgust I missed 2018 as the day of doom. Sure I'll be long gone by then.... one way or the other. >EW

Anyone tell me what an aerial is, I vaguely remember but can't be sure?
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Si de hecho , por ejemplo, de Alemania y, por supuesto , Italiano. Su español es excelente, lo aprendiste en la escuela o usted tal vez vive en maravillosa Granada por un tiempo? Madrid?

Kofi , BR , ciertamente han ayudado. Gracias.
