I'm not comfortable with the team picking which player, I think that's unfair. But I think they should be able to say if it's a forward or a back.GETHIN EXILE wrote:One change I think should be considered is the substitution of yellow carded front row players. I have felt for a long time that when a team has a front row player yellow carded and a scrum is called the other side should have the choice of which player is replaced by the incoming front row player. It would make for a very interesting game if the non offending team could nominate say the fly half as the player who has to go off rather than the offending team taking a flanker off and then putting a winger onto the flank especially if the scrum was in the first minute or two of the sin bin period.

Jonathan Davies should not be allowed to comment on Wales.....

Cheering when Wales score isn't exactly impartial is it?

It's not the impartiality that's the problem, it's the way he pretends he's being even handed when he's not. Brian Moore is proudly English and makes no bones about it but is as critical of England as he is of anyone else.

Jonathan Davies always spoils my enjoyment of a game, and it's not his impartiality that does it but his shouty way of stating the bleeding obvious, describing exactly what you've just watched on the screen or repeating (usual several times) what his co-commentator has just said. He rarely offers any sort of insight.

This is it for me too. From a pundit I want to be educated on what I might not be aware of from having never been a pro.Reggie wrote:Jonathan Davies always spoils my enjoyment of a game, and it's not his impartiality that does it but his shouty way of stating the bleeding obvious, describing exactly what you've just watched on the screen or repeating (usual several times) what his co-commentator has just said.

If I want a mad bloke jumping about telling me what I'd just seen I'd listen to the bloke next to me in the pub.
