Rugby fans rank rugby’s 3 best and 3 worst rugby TV pundits

3. Austin Healey

It seemed unlikely when he retired that Healey would manage to become even more annoying as a pundit than he was as a player. But, somehow, he’s achieved it. Great job. Do love his Twitter spats though…


2. Stuart Barnes

The former England outside-half and Sky Sports commentator can often be found not just winding up fans but players too! He does, every so often, throw out some epic lines while on commentary.

“Australia without Pocock is like Hamlet without the prince,” is a particular favourite.


1. John Inverdale

A man who drives many (especially outside England) to distraction and has been known to turn the airwaves shockingly blue on more than one occasion. Whilst he no doubt he has to focus on England more than other nations due to producer pressure and the demographics of the audience, his ability to turn conversation back to the Red Roses during matches when they aren’t even playing is legendary.
