Dear Editor,
Does anybody else feel that there is an incessant noise during the live broadcast of rugby matches, or am I alone in this sentiment? We once had a single commentator offering insights about the game, explaining intricacies such as the reason for a certain penalty or scrum being rewarded. Regrettably, nowadays, there seems to be at least dual commentating, resulting in a continuously overlapping dialogue. Despite having immense respect for their comprehensive understanding of rugby, the in-depth discussion about a less-familiar player’s line breaks from the prior season, or which junior sibling could possibly rise from the academy following year, holds minimal interest for me. This is especially the case when a key event such as an intercept try is unfolding on the screen.
It is my humble request that we move away from this constant monotonous chatter and limit the conversation to events actively occurring on the field.
Yours faithfully,
