A highly respected broadcaster who has only demonstrated enthusiasm whenever she has been involved with the sport.

Great news.

Great news. She is high profile and has always been an enthusiastic supporter of the game. 

Unfortunately I predict complaints from a couple on here.

Can’t be surely . Everyone likes her she’s high profile on terrestrial telly and she’s enthusiastic about the sport

Superb appointment,given her professionalism and love for the sport.

Whether advantage can be gained from her contacts/work with other sports,The Olympics people,and both the BBC and Channel 4 remains to be seen.

She seems well connected,and amicable enough for that networking malarkey.

Other folk seem to have recognised her professionalism - https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/an-obe-for-national-treasure-clare-balding-8856853.html

Not sure what Adam's did during his time but great to keep high profile none RL people in this position.

Balding is a good appointment, but I think it is being announced a bit early. Adams isn't even halfway through his 12-month tenure yet.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

My hunch, and it's only a hunch, is that we are likely to see Balding at things sooner rather than later in her capacity as "President Elect".

Adams did criticise gambling sponsorship in RL (ignoring it in football) as his opening gambit but I haven’t heard much from him since.

That will have been the interview in which he literally said gambling was.an epidemic in football, I imagine.
