Is anyone suffering from Grand Slam of Darts withdrawal symptoms?

I've absolutely loved the tournament this year and am missing coming home to live top class darts on the telly tonight!

Must say a big well done to ITV4 for their continued excellent coverage of the sport.

I think ITV's fresh approach has set them apart from the other broadcasters who cover darts - they are something of a happy medium between Sky and the BBC, in that they are much less reverential and Taylor/top player-centric than Sky, without being gimmicky and twee like the BBC's Lakeside coverage can be.

That's not to say I don't enjoy both Sky or the BBC's coverage, but I feel ITV have raised the bar over the past three years.

Long may they continue to cover more tournaments and see their coverage become even better.

Roll on the World Championships (both of them) and also ITV4's next tournament, the Players Championship at the end of January.

Are these the usual ESPN rugby commentators doing France/New Zealand, or are they taking the New Zealand feed?
