TVNZ names Tony Veitch's replacement

Really pleased, I have admired Andrews ability as a sports reporter for some years now, he certainly deserves this chance as a major front man for TV1. Good luck Andrew.

I am happy as long as he's not another closet wife beater...

I'm pleased, Sav deserves it; he's worked hard enough to get the shot at it and has slotted in seamlessly well after Veitch. While a good journalist himself who worked hard at a job he loved, V always was a little in love with himself and it used to irk me as it showed through the cracks. I've no doubt he'll be back at some point, with any station that chooses him - but hopefully not before he's reached rockbottom and learned to reinvent himself as a mature man who has learned his lessons. For those that think he should not have stepped down from his jobs - if you are a big fish in a small pond, the very first rule you learn is never to do anything that could implicate you in your private life. He forgot that rule and paid the known price that goes with the big fish label. That's life, he'll get through it.

Game Of Two Halves just isn't the same without Veitchie. :-(

Agreed, i like toni street better - why cant she do it all the time!? dont really think Andrew is that great! Bring back Veitchy :D

Andrew Saville is a good replacement, however i agree with lana that Toni Street should present on weekends shes cute and has more personality

Worst decision ever! Won't get into the Veitch decision here, but he is a massive loss to TVNZ. We live in hope for them to change their minds.

He's a great choice, although it will be sad that Tony won't be coming back. I don't think anyone will be as good as he was. Hopefully this guy won't try and mimik Tony's style though!!

New and fresh will be good!!! And he's been doing a good job so far...

You're saying Saville brown-noses the All Blacks, so you'll stick to TV3? I have a two-word response, my friend, and that is: Hamish McKay.

You say Veitch is an arrogant, mouthy little upstart? What about yourself? If you truly believe rugby is a minor sport in this country then you're all the above -- and you can throw in unhinged for good measure.
