    I think all these shows have a bit of a cheerleading thing to them, almost any sports programme I have seen in world, is the same. Watch a golf, darts, athletics etc they all will all tell you how good game is. There was some commenatator on NRL (NOT sure who never really watched it, but on in pubs etc in Aus) you would hear him scream "the Greatest game in the world".
    I think it's the we have to be positive vibe etc?

    Mind you I can't talk I like that a bit in sport (actually in life) especially rugby I see the positives and enjoy them Just figure my life is too short to look for what's wrong all the time.

      The Breakdown Super Rugby Preview show was particularly shite this year. Not sure I'll bother with subsequent editions. The whole show needs to be put in the bin.

        After arguably the best opening round in years, somehow this is one of the discussion points on The Breakdown this week. We're months out, and many SR rounds away, from the first ABs test. Any danger of actually focusing on the comp?

            Kirwan seems like a nice guy. Punditry and commentary did not suit him.

            He is the only one with a bit of personality on the show and was not afraid to upset people.

            Clearly not what they want from their team

                Wasn't life advice for anyone, just for me, you by all means should do what works for you. F*** me the last thing I am interested in suggesting how someone I will never know or care about live his/her life. I was merely confirming what I thought of show, bit of cheerleading involved, but not letting that put me off. Just enjoy the bits I do.

                  Thought the panel on the latest show was a dud, with three gabbling heads and Mils, who’s solid but subdued. Now that SJK’s gone they need to ensure they have someone like Beaver on board each show.

                    Joey Wheeler as one of "the pundits" on The Breakdown. FFS.

                    That's not even scrapping the bottom of the barrel. That's several feet below the barrel.
                    That's so fucking bad it shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as a barrel.

                    Bring back JK!

                            @Steven-Harris maybe, but still on her side, she actually gets some good oil also, just doesn't flirt it around.

                                @Steven-Harris totally agree, new voices are great, still a fan of the show, but probably needs a bit more fizz , like the Stan sports boys do, agree Steve.

                                    "This week on The Breakdown why losing to South Africa by a record amount shows that Scott "Razor" Robertson really is a coaching genius and how good was the try by Le-Roy Car-Tar and we will be calling Billy Proctor's mum to celebrate THAT amazing Haka!"

                                      This show is retarded

                                      Minimal criticism. Don’t change anything. Fuck these guys are such a negative influence on NZ rugby

                                      They think their job is to protect their friends

                                        Cruden - we just need alignment between the coaches and players. Fuck off. You are as worthless as Mils
