It should be about the games, not British history.

Is it going to last 3 hours?

20 mins would have been plenty

Maybe I am wrong.... But for the Northern Ireland segment was it not Willie Duggan they showed diving over scoring a try?

No opening ceremony is worth 27 million but the colour is fabulous!!!

Watched it there during a break in the darts. Useless.

Hard to believe the principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic would lower himself to appear in such schite. They must have threatened to withdraw his knighthood.

Nearly certain it was Noel Mannion,you would think they would choose a northern player.

All this build up just to light a fire. 3 hours..... Could have had the things over ages ago if they just used a good old zip firelighter. Place would have been ablaze within 30 seconds. Job done!!

Twas indeed Galways Noel Mannion, bit of a strange one to show him. Ulster lads have scored some great/important trys for us over the years.

I'm enjoying it, a bit long perhaps but - it it's a bit different.
