The standard of punditry is often pretty poor these days... the rugby guys are frequently annoying, and also often wrong about the laws and their application. Most football pundits are a joke - listening to their 'analysis' of one of the world's simplest ball games is like watching paint dry.
The only sport I currently watch where the pundits are a big plus is American football, where Osi Umenyiora manages by turns to be hilariously funny and genuinely interesting and informative. |

Rugby is so much easier to play from the comfort of a studio & with the benefit of replays. Being able to just see overlap opportunities quickly & also the ability to take them a high percentage of times is what all coaches dream of in their players particularly those at 9/10/12 & 13. Communication from out to in is the key.

To sum up then there may be some issues about Jiffy being the top rugby pundit on Wales TV 😉 Guess we have to live with it then until Nigel retires when it will be both of them on the sofa talking to us 😱😉

That's fair enough however they made no mention of the victory in appalling conditions against one of the best sides in the competition. If the Blues had secured that victory, they would have spent a lot more time on the analysis I can assure you!! I must ask Jiffy the question; he always talks about heads up rugby, on field tactics, running weak shoulders, jamming in in defence, playing what is in front of you etc etc etc. As the master of these elements, I musk ask if he applied these whilst captain of his country against the mighty ROMANIA at home ???

i thought he was just as critical of the blues and the situation at the dragons,the praise for the ospreys is deserved they are playing great rugby with forwards and backs handling and running well and are scoring loads of tries,i would like to have seen the uproar on here if that penalty try had cost us the victory on Friday night.

Jiffy was also rejected by the Scarlets as a teenager and they later fell out again over his move to League, old wounds that still fester maybe.

Funny enough, I think they said on ScrumV we were unlucky not to get the pen try that time. |

There was also no, 'by the way I wrote the Scarlets off against Toulon last time we were on air, whoops'. ScrumV is just there for people who want to be able to try and talk rugby at work nowadays.

I also think Jiffy just often states as a 'bloke' on Tv that a decision is rubbish or ridiculous when in fact it's just the referee applying the laws (as daft as they are.). He isn't really on top of it all technically. |

To be fair Holley likes us and tries to be level headed. Jiffy just misses the point. Trimbles swinging arm was borderline red so the penalty try was right even before the 3rd of Jan as CB said. It wasn't as if he caught him with a bicep trying to tackle it was a low swing. He should have gone.

Haven't watched Scrum V for a long time, and I don't miss it at all.
