Conor McNamara

I think it's a great sport.

I love commentating on it.

I love the sort of onomatopoeia that you can bring in, the ferocity of the challenges.

And even the way the ebb and flow, like football, same as Gaelic football or hurling, the game just flows for the full duration.

Whereas rugby, there's a lot of stop starts.

There's a lot of mechanics.

I got to commentate on the Lions tour for Sky Sports last time.

And it was technically one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do because...

We had so many pundits.

We had Sam Warburton, we had Will Greenwood.

So Sam was the kind of former forward.

Will Greenwood was the former back.

We had Nigel Owens then sitting on my other side.

He was the referee.

So this sort of four-man commentary team.

Then we're listening to a South African director who's, you know, telling all the camera shots of what replays we're going to show.

You can hear the actual referee who's on the pitch.

You can hear the TMO.

You can, you know, the Sky Sports Director was there by here.

I remember I used to go back to the hotel at the end of the game and your head would just be spinning.
