Methinks they'll try and get John Inverdale to jump ship. They like to woo the "big BBC name" you know. And with ALL the England home games at Twickenham, that could swing it.


Link?

Would be a shame, MDS is better IMO.

In my opinion, ex Rugby pro's are a bit too passionate about their country to commentate on them. It's games like this that cry out for 1 neutral co-com, rather than 2 "biased" ones, for me anyway.

That's unusual.
