We all remember the times when Tom McGuirk, Brent Pope and George Hook were the voices of Irish rugby on RTE. They guided us through the (fewer) highs and (many) lows, from difficult periods to triumphant victories. Their commentary was not just about the game; it was about our national spirit, our resilience, and our love for rugby.

Now that Irish rugby has reached unprecedented heights, wouldn't it be fitting to hear those familiar voices once again discuss our national team, positive outlook going forward and this very special France 2023 World Cup? This is not just about nostalgia; this is about celebrating how far we've come as a nation in this sport.

This petition is personal because it's rooted in our shared cultural experience of watching rugby on RTE with these three presenters at the helm. This is a fun/cultural petition and does not detract from other important causes (please browse and sign) but adds an element of joy and unity amidst challenging times.

Let's bring back Tom McGuirk, George Hook and Brent Pope for the opening 10 minutes of RTE's TV coverage of the Rugby World Cup final, regardless of who is playing. Let their voices be part of this historic Irish rugby era, no matter who makes it to the final and wins.
