With Stuart Barnes, on loan from Sky, apparently regarded as the top right-hand man for match commentators, Greenwood's knowledgeable and humorous observations have been a ray of sunshine as the Home Countries have covered themselves in something other than glory.
Greenwoof's touchline updates have been clear and to the point, while his pundity as a co-commentator have turned many a dull or one-sided game into something apporaching entertainment.
He was there for the Australia v Fiji Pool C game, when his comments included:

• Australia don't play in gold ... it's canary yellow.
• He thought about the cross-kick there, then he rememkbered he can't kick.
• He's a cross between Margot Fonteyn and Jonah Lomu.

All in all, Greenwood has had a good tournmant so far, though his brief explanations of some of rugby's basics do tend to address people who have never seen an oval ball before, let alone watched a game.
"Shaggy", as he is known to some of his friends, was always an entertaining player - now he gives just as good value in his second career, though it has to ber admitted that in some cases, he hasn't had a lot to beat to come out on top of this particular pile.
