The Rugby World Cup commences on the upcoming Friday, September 8, featuring an exciting opener between France and New Zealand. The tournament will culminate with the final showdown on October 28th.
In anticipation of the event, our colleagues at the Telegraph have undertaken the task of ranking the top rugby pundits. The outcome of this ranking has brought about some unexpected results.
To ensure impartiality and prevent any conflicts of interest, three esteemed Telegraph columnists, namely Brian Moore, Maggie Alphonsi, and Sir Ian McGeechan, were declared ineligible for inclusion in this particular list.
TOP 5 RUGBY PUNDITS
#5. Topsy Ojo (England) – ITV
Ojo, a former England international rugby player, made his mark as a versatile and skillful winger. He spent the majority of his club career with London Irish, where he became a club legend. Ojo earned several caps for the England national team, showcasing his speed and try-scoring ability on the international stage.
They wrote: “Not the most energetic of pundits but his sangfroid is to be admired. Rarely flustered, the former England wing is comfortable as either rugby expert or broadcaster in his own right. Possesses plenty of knowledge to impart on the viewer but that, due to his previous career, is almost solely reserved for the wider, loose exchanges.”
