The fact they are relying on the class of 2003 for the England matches is poor when so many better pundits have come around recently like John Barclay & Sam Warburton, women pundits often get criticised on Social Media however Philippa Tuttiett & Maggie Alphonsi have been really good too. RTE & Virgin have been based in Dublin but for me their coverage for me is better than ITV.I mentioned in another forum that maybe the ITV punditry team regarding the England games needs freshening up, but how can you upgrade on World Cup winners (Maggie Alphonsi maybe)? Good point about John Barclay and Sam Warburton, so ITV may have to look for "relevant equivalents" as regards England games.
