I lasted about 25 minutes. I thought it was incredibly dull.

Fuck me. There's now some fat bloke dyed blue popped out of a clam and started singing.

[Victor Meldrew]

And he's just dropped his microphone.

Concept sounded great, and lots going on. But it looks like they managed a for-TV spectacle that just doesn't quite work. Well, at least not in the scheme of past Olympic opening ceremonies.

This has lasted longer than Paris’ resistance to the Nazis

Silver horse looks spectacular.

It won't just be mens sevens teams going home before the starting ceremony is complete at this rate.

For 30 seconds yes!

For 30 minutes not so much!

Odd ceremony. Made for TV.

It looks like Golf is Cotter's main sport. Best Rugby commentator of his/my generation by a country mile.

Yeah easily, humour gets me every time

@Bones Ticks all the boxes for me.

Knows the laws inside out.
Gets all the players' names right.
Clearly loves the game, especially attacking rugby.
Calls what he sees.
Funny.
Knows when to shut up.

[sparky]

Fuck, it's still going on.
