Can't remember the name of the TVNZ but it's not saville.  TV3 apparently sending two people.  One of which is Gourdie.

please say it aint so...

If you're reading Mr Stanaway, how about filing a story where you DON'T stand in shot to ask questions? I know it's your signature style, but we're interested in the athlete you're talking to...

take the chance to shine Gourds, you've earned it...

He is good but knows nothing about the game?

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Put Deaks and Laws on the payroll and send them over to cover the first game (live at Kruger Park) - tell them it's the All Whites vs the Kruger Lions.

Should really be Geoff Bryan - he's hosted TVNZ's WC coverage for years.

ugh could you imagine it?

Deaks "And the refs given a penalty at halfway for a hand ball, even though it only touched his upper arm?"

Laws "Pick the ball up and run with it, like a real man playing a real sport"

He is brilliant and loves his football. But sadly think TVNZ let him go last year

Yes I've always been impressed with him. Very restrained broadcaster, but seems to give a sense of both the occasion, and that he understands it.

How about Mr Sumner.  Have always been very impressed with him.  In fact I've always wished sky got him as their commentator and ditched De Jong.

Geff was amazing during the 2002 Baklsetball world champs, despite not being a basketball guy, his research was spot on.

My vote: get Piney and Chote over there. Purely based on the penalty shootout commentary :)
