Takes an exceptional high degree of skill for a commentator to be inducted into the hall of fame in any sport, yet bill mclaren managed to achieve it

“Born when meat was cheap” will stay with me till I die. Such a respectful, accurate and comical way to comment on someone’s size, sums up the greatness of this man.

The greatest, was not just his commentary but his sheer enthusiasm for the game. Always knowledgeable, the funny quips, a joy to listen too.

My favourite was "That will put him in Ward 4", to which the other commentator would say "I hope not Bill, that's a maternity ward".

With how famous his "mad Giraffe" type quips became you can forget how brilliantly his commentary flowed and the way his tone would change to match what was happening was just world class.

Poetic, brilliance. His commentary on that Paul Thorburn kick v Scotland. The best.

Nostalgia overload!😍 EOYTs with Bill McLaren on comms was the best ever....I guess it was also helped by the fact that the Boks rarely lost in the NH at the time, so his quips in awe were the stuff of legend. I can still hear him say "16 stone & 5 ounce/pound on the hoof" 😂 RIP Bill....

Another one that I remember, in the 90s I think, involved a Welsh prop coming on as a replacement. The camera shot was from behind him on the touchline as he walked, then jogged on. With an obviously strong and stocky frame, square shouldered and with no neck, Bill simply said "And the Lord said, thou shalt be a prop forward" or words to that effect! Brilliant!

Best commentator has to be Grant Nisbett. He puts in so much passion for the game and his voice is just perfect for commentating.
