Can't say I'm terribly enthused for Seb Hutchison to (most likely) commentate on a quarter-final next weekend. Both him and Pien Meulensteen certainly have potential, so you can see why ITV have put their stock in two young commentators, but wouldn't say either of them are a #2 commentator on a major broadcaster yet.
Hopefully ITV can have Jon Champion back for the 2026 World Cup* (should they get the rights) or someone with experience and gravitas (Adam Summerton of TNT who covered an FA Cup game for ITV during the 2022 World Cup someone else I would suggest) or their commentary line-up would be quite weak.
*He opted to only work with NBC at the Olympics this summer.
