White needs to shave his moustache off. It is hard to take a player seriously when he looks for all the world like Manuel ("Fawlty Towers").

Apparently Amazon have been very happy with the Autumn Nations Cup numbers. So much so they are now looking at bidding on the upcoming Premiership rights in competition to BT and Sky. Could be an option for Super Rugby in terms of international rights. Sell them the idea of being the international home of Rugby.
From Greg Clark on twitter: "I haven’t hung up the microphone .. so see you in 2021. Clarkie"
I wonder what the odds are of him being one of the callers on Stan?

Nick McCardle?
Hard to say that seeing as to my knowledge he's never called a game in his life.
If they're looking at an established game caller they're really looking at Clark, Maloney, Swain and Bray as the only ones in Australia above club rugby level.
And Reg Roberts!!!!!

Maloney has the ability to do the over the top, sensationalist sort of call that the Australian public are used to hearing when watching Rugby League, and to a lesser extent AFL. Not that that’s a bad thing
I like Clarke but don’t think his style of calling or demeanour is going to be anywhere near as effective as Maloney

Yeah you need someone to balance out the excitement of Maloney

I think he tried to do colour commentary and hosting with Maloney quite a few years ago. I think it was a double header and through sickness and lack of staff he was required. From memory this was before they expanded their colour commentary team from just being Kearns and Martin.
I cannot recall if he was any good.

I am happy with this if it occurs, he has never annoyed me and does not come off as being biased towards any team, which is rare for Foxtel. He never appeared to favour his son or show extra concern when his son got hit hard or injured which showed his professionalism.
I wonder if he is talking about Super Rugby? COuld he be taking Maloney's role with IRB?

I think Clarke is fine and nine / Stan should consider him
Sumo is pretty much my favourite rugby commentator. A good game caller, expert knowledge and has a razor sharp wit.
If he wants to follow in the footsteps of Aussie Steve Walsh and move over here, he's very welcome!

In case anyone missed this, BeIn Sports has the Champions and Challenge Cups this year. Still no closer to finding who, if anyone, has snaffled the Pro14

I suspect Clarke might be heading to the MLR, seems to be talking a lot about that on social media.
