Question

Is bbc cometary of the six nations biast?

Answer 1

It is biased in favour of England, Wales and Scotland.  This is perfectly acceptable since it is these countries that pay the license fee!

Answer 2

Not really.

Answer 3

well, I think Butler favours the english, even tho he played and captained Wales!

Jonathan Davies is very fair!

Have not considered the others really!

But the studio guests, that is another thing, Gusscot, Carling, well, they are bias! And as for Inverdale..........he should be sacked! The biggest biased  b@stard of them all!

No one can beat Bill "there goes an early shower for him" McLaren!  

Now he was an unbiased class commentator!

Without a shadow of a doubt!

Answer 4

Is B.B.C. commentary of the six nations biased...No but no one was ever going to replaced  the legendary Bill Maclaren

Answer 5

If you have to ask that you're not Welsh! ;)

Answer 6

How can it be when they have am ex player commentator from each team and an independant in the box. Also if you want biased, lets have a look at some of the other nations coverage, Australia and South Africa for instance!!

Answer 7

No more so than RTE television's coverage in Ireland!!

Answer 8

No, not at all.

Sometimes I'm surprised how the ex players call decisions against their countries, especially Brian Moore (which isn't a bad thing).

Guscott is just a miserable gimp - great player though

Answer 9

No, the BBC commentators all have National Pride, but I think you'll find that most of the time they'll call it right even if it is against theie own Nation.

Answer 10

Yea it definatlely is more Biased then RTE...dont really like watchin the games on BBC..whether england or Ireland are playing...both would have to be bias a lil bit...but BBC is more outright with it...and RTE commentators are more likely to crictise Irish players even when there doin alright...

Answer 11

No the commentary isnt biased at all.

I think that they are good commentators who tell things how they are while the game is being played.

Answer 12

yes and its a bit biased!!

Answer 13

Some of the individual commentators and studio guests certainly are, but I don't think the BBC commentary as a whole is biased.

Answer 14

I say yes they do seem to decide on one team o favour before the game and stick to them.

Answer 15

It's more fun that way,I love listening to Ray Gravell on S4C..

he is very patriotic and (dare I say it).... biased (not biast).

I'm Welsh but I agree with MUTS NUTS..Bill McLaren was the best..he is sadly missed.

Answer 16

What????

With all of the different nationalities of presenters an commentators???

Who to? I mean there's been more comment made by that Welsh chap than anyone else. Sorry, I'm really bad with names.

But I'd say no way, especially not this time I thought its been the least biast of tournaments thus far.
