The time given for Stan’s coverage of Bledisloe Cup on September 27 is incorrect. It is actually 2.30pm AEST with the game kicking off at 3.05pm AEST. ---

I think he does a good job and brings a fresh energy to Rugby and has good co-commentators in Tim Horan and Morgan Turinui as well as Burke and Hooper on the sidelines. Just watched the highlights of last nights match and geez it was a bit of a hard listen. I’ve always found him slightly below par without being horrendous (weird name pronunciations aside), but to me he actively detracted from, at the very least, those highlights v the Springboks. ---

I sorely miss the days when Greg Clark was the play by play commentator on Wallabies matches. It’s such a stark difference and emphasizes that the quality of commentary adds significantly to live sport on television. ---
