Honestly, this was just brilliant. I'm even more pumped now

[@johnny207]

I really enjoyed this tour, and brilliantly presented, Ty.

[@contesketchup2981]

This guy couldn't present a good dinner, fuck off idiot. How much do ye get paid to make comments to defend this lifeless idiot? Look at his hair for pete's sakes as if he could have made an effort for the television? This PC world that we live in has to end as I'm sick of this shit. Indian news presenter all over British news as anchors and now this headgehog who has about as much character as bucket of white paint.about 30 mulim mayors in England, and people just blindly take this shit lying down. The people are asleep as to what's going on and I'm sick of this leftist takeover of Britian which is now a pathetic shitshow.

[@rednwhitetillikickthebucket]

Omg what a fantastic presenter. Bloody brilliant and so engaging. Can he present everything 👍

[@ewanmacfarlane9195]

Wasnt this kid at the BBC. They made a mistake letting him go his enthusiasm is infectious

[@KitchenFoyle]

An excellent presentation that couldn’t have been better from someone who clearly knows the Crucible and everyone in it as if he lives there, along with a deep knowledge of the players so a true fan of the game. Spot on Radzi well done fella.

[@goofe.washington953]

What he just did in this video is extremely hard to do. It’s amazing that he pulled it off as well as he did.

[@marialivingston8154]

Brilliant tour Radzi, I don’t even like pool that much. I’m just watching cuz I’m from Sheffield and I like Radzi. It’s brilliant how you remember all those facts I could never

[@musharrafhussain245]

This was just amazing ! We didn't knew Crucible was sooo big & deep inside .Thanks Eurosport 🔥❤️

[@barthandelus8340]

Fascinating tour, thanks!!! Sincerely hope to see Radzi hosting on Eurosport next year, what a legend. Gutted it's all over.

[@itnaklipse1669]

Much better than i expected - cool stuff, thanks Radzi and ES! And it'll be Ronnie.

[@contesketchup2981]

Radzi, you love praising yourself with your sock channels lol

[@dhillon621]

You were right!

[@tomjones6944]

@@dhillon621 It was an easy call, he's the GOAT!

[@rednwhitetillikickthebucket]

Radzi you have a new fan, top class presenting 👌

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

I *LOVE* this!!! Thank you so much for sharing this behind-the-scenes look at The Crucible. God, I wish snooker would catch on here in the USA. I grew up with a snooker table in the basement (my dad was really good; I sucked at it). But because of that exposure, I've always preferred snooker over pool, which seems to be the generally preferred billiard-like game throughout most of America. I understand the head of World Snooker Tour believes snooker will never catch on in the US, and he might be right. But I would assert that if the governing body were to ever throw down the gauntlet by letting it be known throughout America that there are no world-class American-born snooker players, that might be enough to light a fire under the arses of Americans to set out to prove the world wrong on that. I sure wish I could get Eurosport on my TV here in America. I'd watch all your snooker broadcasts.

[@steveh572]

Definitely an untapped market.

[@hurrdurrimagrunt]

Great presenter, clearly has a passion for Snooker. Nice tour, thanks.

[@YPVISA]

Thoroughly enjoyed that Radzi 👍

[@y2kazan868]

This didn’t even feel like 15 minutes. Well done Radzi!

[@nightlife6899]

Really enjoyed that. Radzi is a very warm, likeable and knowledgeable presenter. I remember the days of David Vine presenting but this lad and Hazel Irvine are just as good.

[@bountyhuntermk2520]

This young man is amazing - loved his energy and enthusiasm

[@ibrarali9369]

Alot of intelligence and personality this lad has. Likeable.

[@chris4973]

What a fabulous tour! Love this dude’s energy! Thanks for bringing us behind the scenes. Love from (a very F’d up) America….

[@jeffbarker4067]

That was perfect. Thank you. Now I want to go someday.

[@FamousAnonymous888]

This is excellent! Bringing the world into Crucible. Great video 👍🏻

[@magiccarpet1850]

What a fantastic host

[@fahadsalman123]

This presenter is so talented. Great video

[@edbredin6406]

Thanks for that interesting walk around. This fella at the start I couldn't get into him cos he used to be on the BBC as a morning presenter. But since he came to eurosport he has become very professional. Plus it was hard to take over funny man Andy and Rachel. But hat's off to the Dude

[@8evvied]

This video was amazing, brilliant insight. Well presented Radzi

[@davidsirour8130]

Amazing to bring us with you in the backstages... thanks !!!!

[@alexreitzmann2524]

Brilliant presentation, one travelling ! What a presenter !

[@jezzaus2124]

Must say I love the Eurosport coverage, it is great for us Snooker purists.

[@reds005]

Radzi is quality

[@dannya8614]

Thank you for the tour Radzi! Very interesting indeed.

[@tesisau123]

It's almost like they had a look into the future at 6:09 with who would end up in the finals. Fun tour!

[@mattdevereux5940]

Radzi not only is he a great presenter, he is old school haslearnt his trade properly developing as a presenter from childrens tv , learnt his craft, and does his research properly. He will go a long way.

[@Paul-sl9zm]

Gone up the hard way from children's TV? Nice sarcasm 👍

[@andydoman1260]

Brilliant coverage.

[@lfmm97]

This was really well made. Well done.

[@danskmand4070]

Great video! Love the show around and bits of history and inside information! Host was great!

[@MrMK2001]

Higgins on his phone putting a bet on 😂

[@fuzzy1237]

Excellent

[@westy1479]

Radzi the new face at the home of snooker, Eurosport! He is absolutely brilliant. Superb with the players and best snooker presenter/ interviewer around!

[@David_in_Thailand]

Fascinating. Thanks Radzi! I think the final will be Ronnie defeating Mark Williams but it will be very close.

[@joel7021]

Cool video!

[@frankvaccari3706]

Great tour thanks from Australia

[@judderzm2252]

Really enjoyed that also fantastic match mark williams and jud Trump and ronnie and John Higgins can't wait for the final today gonna be epic.

[@user-cp6oj5sy2v]

Nice one,continueeee

[@79designuk]

Brilliant tour. And if you watch it on the BBC, their studio was just out of shot, almost next to Higgins to his left. So much artwork and partitioning going on.

[@markheys9393]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

[@samsamm1402]

Angles with Jackie what a legend

[@anubis4377]

in fact, the cruise you took us through the crucible was fascinating

[@craig1538]

Chizi is great presenterer.

[@stannats2637]

Love Eurosport

[@brunoserras]

This is a great video.

[@butler-macdonald8351]

That was cool! Thanks for putting this together. Radzi, you better start practicing your trophy lifting and acceptance speeches because I want to see the inside of that Champion's Lounge next time 😂😂

[@cameronquick1157]

Dear Radzi, some days a ago I complained about how you host. Just want to say that over the last few days I've grown to appreciate what you bring to the eurosport snooker team, and I'm happy to have your face introducing the action and getting our beloved pundits talking. Congratulations on these 17 days, look forward to many more seasons with you at the home of snooker.

[@waynejohnson7519]

Superb run through, next year I'm there.

[@georgeh5745]

Good content.

[@py2007]

Future TV presenting star

[@ryanturner9142]

You just predicted judd and Ronnie in the final weirdly 6:10

[@GhtDichNixAn]

it's hilarious at the end of the video, "Who do you think is going to be the 2022 world snooker champion" and then boom, "hi, I'm Ronnie O'Sullivan" 😂

[@guilhermetraub6370]

So cooooool

[@ajaygurung4777]

lovely

[@iain8837]

12:10 John Higgins wax work propped against the table!

[@khalidbinwalid4252]

15:07 this guy will be the world snooker champion.

[@nishantpandey6398]

I hope that too 💐

[@christopherfrench2617]

Thanks Radzi, Quick question What is your highest break?

[@buckrogers5331]

I'm hoping it will be Judd Trump. I just love his cueing action and amazing amazing cue ball control. A zigzag maestro.

[@anubis4377]

could you please increase the dedicated time for each match/session to cover 2 frames :)

[@jb894]

Reminds me of the waterfront Hall in Belfast.

[@hearmenow909]

That hairstyle is epic.

[@marcinj2290]

12:07 "Hej John, it's little to late to learn the snooker rules" :)

[@Mick-Dempsey]

Loved this,but honestly the whole way through this I'm just thinking this guy is such a pro.You got it right Eurosport.

[@ruieduardomartinsdasilva8772]

great

[@jamesstraw06]

Brilliant video mate. I noticed you said on a couple of occasions that Eurosport is the home of snooker and the only place to watch it. I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on that. The BBC are the ultimate broadcaster. Their main table camera angle is perfect, Eurosport and ITV angles are so distorted. The stats and graphics on BBC are so informative. Sadly Eurosport has a lot of catching up to do with the broadcast quality of the BBC.

[@nightwi5h959]

"You can't polish a turd" I just burst to that xD So good!

[@tipi5586]

In general, it's so nice to see a young presenter these days who's actually learnt his craft and isn't a condescending university graduate. And this is coming from an art school graduate.

[@nahnahnahhhh]

thanks for everything you are doing for our game, Radzi!

[@bigboy0625]

BBC the home of Snooker 👍

[@wingzofhell]

this looks like the old style cinema in Hong Kong, especially the orange door.

[@PerfectMarketingNow]

i just happen to google the shit out of the Crucible to find out what this place looks like because I couldn't imagine it

[@ilovevegimite]

How often does the Crucible get used in a year?

[@AD-kv9kj]

Why SO incredibly cautious about not making a single sound in the theatre doorway? From the theatre was coming a load of noise of a handful of staff just laughing and joking... And there clearly wasn't a match on.

[@AbsolutelyAverage]

9:15 Last time I was in Sheffield I had an all you can eat Buffett in that Chinese restaurant across the street. This isn’t TripAdviser so I’ll not tell you what the meal was like

[@DaveT383]

That was very cool, but I wish you had explained who Jacky is. ^^ As for who will win, who knows, and frankly I don't really have a dog in that fight - I just love watching the drama.

[@AcessDBpro]

So this is Sideshow Bob's other gig... tremendous!

[@michealarthur]

How much is it to take my Photo with the World Championship Trophy Eurosport Snooker?
