#2. Paul Grayson (England) – BBC
Grayson, a former England international fly-half, had a distinguished rugby career that bridged the transition from amateur to professional rugby. He played a pivotal role for Northampton Saints and contributed significantly to their success. Grayson’s rugby knowledge and expertise are highly regarded, and his passion for the sport continues through his punditry work.
They wrote: “A World Cup-winner with a long playing career straddling amateur and professional eras means he is as experienced as anyone on the punditry circuit. Crucially, with two sons as current professional players, the former fly-half follows the intricacies of the modern game. A voice full of northern soul with empathetic, soothing notes – like your favourite uncle – a shame he’ll only be heard on radio.”
