Trying to be objective about the intrigues of a World
Championship game is never made easier when an
irritating commentator deems he’s unbiassed; that’s
bullshit to the nth degree, it’s the U20 rugby final, &
without wearing a tweed hat he’d be as Pommie as
you get - yet the finalists happen to be England and
New Zealand; - just trying to translate any inference
in terminology he uses to what you’re seeing, fails -
But we noted that the excitement expressed when
England had the ball in hand dropped off markedly
when, in making play, Kiwis gained a bit of ground;
perhaps his loss of sound contains an explanation,
was he commentating for an English population or
simply unable to pronounce exotic Maori names
