Varsity cup is a great innitiative. it brags about how this will lay the foundation for future rugby. Players might be seen quicker because they are showing their talents on national television. Cant they do the same with the commentators??
How about young new talents commentating on the varsity cup games? This could be a way of going through the ranks for the people who wants to be a commentator one day. the same as the rugby. I understand that not everyone is suited for the job but cant supersport have auditions at the beginning of the year for new talent??
Its a bit boring to hear errol and hennie going on about players they dont know. With commentators from the university that is playing you will have a more in depth knowledge about the players coming from that university.
Steady Ed, that is an awesome idea! Get some of the Varsity students who are studying film or whatever to get involved!!
Supersport should really be reading this website, they dont show the games the fans want to see and the commentators are boring!!
HELLO SUPERSPORT! Anyone there?
Wait for it, ... Wait for it, .. Thought I heard someone from Supersport.
No, Sorry - Not listening! -
I Normal 0 can't agree more. Young blood will make a huge difference, but I would suggest paring up a youngster like Ockert de Villiers of Sondag or Vata of Pretoria News with an experienced television commetry hand. Not to get involved with the Joost issue at this stage, but a commentator with sound knowledge of the rules combined with a youngster that has a better understanding of what the street lingo is, will make it more entertaining.
Selecting a commentator that is loyal to a university....eish aren’t there enough bias guys doing the job already?
never said anything about being bias. just a bloke who knows the players abit better aswel. If the "new" commentator is serious about a carreer in commentry he wont be bias cause he will just screw himself for the future
Can a commentator really not be biased?
Thats why i hate it when Joost is commentating, cause you know he is gonna support the bulls and rip off the rest.
Thats why past players must stay far away from the mike! Please!
GREAT TALENT COMMING THROUGH HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THAT NO6 FLANK FROM TUKS DANIE CROUS HE IS STREETS BETTER THAN DEON STREGMAN FROM THE BULLS -AND IN THE SAME POOL AS HEINRICK BRUSSOW -LETS HOPE THE QUOTA SYSTEM WONT KEEP HIM OUT OFF THE S A VARSITY TEAM --COMMENTATERS GET TO KNOW YOUR PLAYERS
