ItV coverage

Vickery was a new low in sports tv commentary, even worse than the kid's presenter C4 fired on the athletics recently.

Craig Doyle is the most banal presenter I've seen in some time, and there's consistently no tactical or game analysis worth speaking of. currently have the Wales - South Africa game here and the panel just isn't being used correctly, someone like Pienaar surely has more to offer. Bin some of the ex-players and get in lads who can talk wise about the game, for the hardened fan and blow-in alike.

Gareth Thomas: "If you're going to pick Shane Williams and George North, you need to get them in the game" - never!

I hate this touch screen nonsense, it looks so awkward and Gareth Thomas is wearing very gay shoes.

ITV are excellent at dumbing down, even worse than Sky Sports.

I'd be disappointed if he wasn't JB

Luckily I have the Setanta coverage for the commentary on the Boks game Not often you can say the Setanta commentary is preferable

Phil Vickery is thee most boring man to ever talk on television.

Wales v RSA, first game i've watched on ITV. This commentary is appauling, worse than Sky's for the Ireland v England warm up match (which was bad, very bad). I think Phil Vickery has the mental capacity of a cabbage, and this ex-football commentator makes Jonathan Davies seem impartial.

JB, your good mate Andi the Greek is in full agreement:

AndiKyriacou2: RT @sammygrimes: Phil Vickery: the voice of Temazepam. Zzzzz..... #itvcoverageisbobbins

I'm not entirely sure what "bobbins" means but it sounds a fairly accurate description.

Shame that an Ireland vs Wales QF is looking less likely. At least then there was a chance that ITV could have given us the dream team - Their welsh analyst Gareth Thomas joined on the sofa by his good Irish friend from Toulouse, Mr Trevor Brennan....

Ryan Caldwell on Twitter said Phil Vickery sounds like he has just woken up!

It would be worse if there was no coverage

Did anyone hear Steve Ryder and his 'Maybe they'll offer more than Sushi after halftime" comment during the Japan game? The man is a bell end

Vickery was on TalkSport's rugby round up on Sunday night and I groaned when he was announced. The labour undertaken in getting the simplest sentence out seemed unbearable, I can't believe his name / status trumps his commentating and chat ability.

Always happy to help, a bit of Manc slang it appears:

Rubbish, nonsense, useless. Manchester rhyming slang for rotten, from bobbins of cotton. E.g."That meal was bobbins, next time we'll eat at home."

Would love to hear his analysis of the break down..."You just close yer eyes, rush in, hope for the best and wait for the whistle looking all confused"
