He's on Sky Sports. He babbles on. Rarely actually listens to what others have to say, half the time he's blowing smoke up the AB's arses. He might have been an OK AB, but as an analyst he is shocking!!!!!!!

Having endured Peter Fitzsimons dreadful contribution to the Maori TV commentary of the Wallabies vs South Africa clash, I find it hard to believe anyone could be worse.  That said, I didn't hear Ian Jones.

During interviews and in his rugby articles, Peter Fitzsimons is quite funny and insightful.  Generally I quite like listening to his views.

But as a comments man during the game, he was bloody horrible.

To hear cries of "Go, go!" when Australia had the ball, then groans and "oh come on" when they lost it was amateurish.  His continuous prattle when the Wallabies were winning, and silence when they were losing irritated me (and my brother!) to the point that we wanted South Africa to win, just to shut him up.
