Andrew Voss joins Premier Sports commentary team

Australian commentator Andrew Voss has joined the Premier Sports team for their coverage of the World Cup.

Voss, who has called many gripping games in a high profile 27 year career, ranks the 2000 classic World Cup final between Australia and New Zealand as his highlight.

He said: “I’m thrilled to be heading up the commentary team on Premier Sports. From the tournament opening in Cardiff, right through to the final, we are going to witness a festival of rugby league. From the north of England, to London, Ireland, Wales and the south of France, we are sure to be thoroughly entertained.”

Complementing the Australian, will be Premier Sports regular Championships commentators Dave Woods and Ian Ramsdale.

Expert analysis will come from an equally impressive international line up of Brian Noble, Daryl Halligan and Robbie Hunter-Paul.

Neal Coupland, Executive Producer for Premier’s Rugby League content said: “We are delighted to have such a strong team for such a great tournament. I genuinely believe our viewers will be in for a real treat. We are absolutely thrilled that Andrew and Daryl will be joining us from Australia to give a local perspective on our exclusive Australian and New Zealand matches and I’m sure they’ll enjoy working with our first class production team.”

Premier’s live coverage of all 28 games begins with the broadcast of the opening ceremony from the Millennium Stadium on the 26th Oct 2013 at 1.30pm. All games will feature the live audio of the video referee as originally pioneered by Premier in 2012.
