Watching the under 20 match between Wales v South Africa, I have to register my disgust at the following:


Rugbypass TV is owned by World Rugby, of which South Africa is a member, supposedly in good standing. Despite this the two commentators have been unashamedly biased in favour of Wales. This is one of many similar examples of World Rugby behaving as if they have proprietary rights to all aspects of the game. Would it be too much to ask for the commentators to be neutral and simply commentate on the game instead of displaying such infuriating one-sidedness.
