			<description><![CDATA[FrontRow is correct; the call was made to go with domestic commentators by the top of NBC/Universal Sports with that reasoning. Bill Seward is a professional broadcaster who is early in his test match career. Likewise, Brian Hightower is a test match player turned broadcaster. They got the got the nod for the Final and both did well. This broadcast team is highly professional and improves with every Test, as will those that succeed them. USA Rugby is emerging; rugby on USA television is embryonic. Support your team on the field and in the studio; drown out the haters with a positive bigger picture perspective. Note that my opinion comes from working as a volunteer to the NBC RWC 2011 team, offering a referee perspective to the Director so that at least 851,000 would receive accurate Law interpretation and reinforcement of the sporting spirit and unique character that Rugby strives to maintain both on and off the field.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Because American viewers like listening to announcers with American accent. Commentary with English or Australian accent will reinforce the stereotype of rugby being a "foreign" game - not what we're trying to achieve if we want the game to go mainstream. I thought NBC commentary was okay.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think there were two problems: the delay in broadcasting and the horrible announcers. Why not use the English, Australian, etc announcers who do rugby all the time?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I wonder what plans NBC Universal and Fox Soccer Plus have in place to get the average number of views over a million for rugby games in America? More Rugby? Better broadcasts? More promotions? I would love to see more Rugby on NBC. So far we have the Las Vegas Sevens, the CRC, the RWC USA vs. Ireland match and the RWC Final. Would love to see a couple more Eagles tests and even some College 15s on NBC in the Spring and Summer.]]></description>
