Nigel Wood interview this morning - pathetic : Mon Feb 23, 2015 9:12 pm
I'm obviously the only person on here who listens to the 'Today' program on Radio 4.The sneering tone of Rob Bonnet didn't surprise me, but Nigel Wood was just terrible. For a start he sounded petrified like he'd never been interviewed before.
Rob Bonnet described the series as a "3-0 whitewash to the Australians", and Wood clearly didn't have a clue what the winning margins were in the first two games and stumbled over his words. And while eulogising Souths he singularly failed to mention the British players in their ranks, or casually name drop Russel Crow and Sam Burgess being there. And this straight after an item on the Oscars and a quip about Bath RU club. This is schoolboy stuff.
Is it any wonder we can't promote the game to a wider audience if we can't find someone who actually has some media training for an interview on national radio?
