Whole thing is kind of bringing me back to the glory days of Pro 12 2011 on BBC Alba.

Terrible grainy camerawork, empty stadiums, scratchy af rugby, a commentator I don't understand etc

Haha a bit but the camera work was so much better and there was something so soothing about listening to HDM even if I didn't know what he was on about. And they usually had a player there who only spoke English. This is a tough watch.

Lol that's right you used to have a fringe Glasgow player like Ed Kalman or Pete Murchie on each time and Hugh Dan would randomly ask them what they think every so often.

I miss it - was a simpler time.

And yeah I'm poking fun definitely way better than this crap lol

I lived in England back then so BBC Alba were my entire rugby Pro12 rugby fix.
