Wallabies legend Matt Giteau has a long history of criticising the commentary of Stuart Barnes when he appears on Sky Sports.
Little did he know the former England fly-half would turn up on Australia television for their 2019 Rugby World Cup coverage.
He just can’t escape.
Why is Stuart Barnes on Fox Sports? He’s an idiot, he’s an annoying, and most of all – he’s the painful whiny voice every Australian is forced to listen to at 3am on a Sunday morning in November as the Wallabies get beaten by England. Bad vibes @FOXRUGBY

Lucky enough to be in Australia when this #RugbyWorldCup is on, meaning time differences are pretty friendly.

Unlucky enough to have to listen to Stuart Barnes as a pundit on @FOXSportsAUS. Half pub bore, half little man syndrome. What a numpty.
Fox really looked at their coverage and thought – how can we make his even shitter?

Coming up after the break – Stuart Barnes joins us
What has happened to this world?? Stuart Barnes is now doing after game opinions on Australian tv networks 😮🤦🏼♂️#WheresThatMuteButton 😂#RWC2019

Australia has copped it the worst I think. Pairing Phil Kearns and Stuart Barnes on the same panel is an idea drawn up in hell to punish the masses.

I thought moving to Australia to be in the same timezone as #RWC2019 was genius. But then they hired Stuart Barnes as one of the pundits for the Aussie coverage. About to book my flights home.

And fans in the UK are saying they’d like him to stay in the Southern Hemisphere.
