    No messing around, that's a good opening day programme. Triathlon, track cycling and swimming the highlights for me.

    Bowls is to the Commonwealth Games what equestrian events are to the Olympics.

    The ceremonies are nice and that, but bring on the sport!

    Looking forward to the Brownlee brothers tomorrow.

    Judo and Wrestling for me. Nothing better than watching hunky men throwing each other around whilst I nibble on my croissant.

    Yeah! I will be at the opening event. As the gates open at 7:15 I guess it's time to go to sleep!

    Ahh, ah well, I will still watch anyway, as that sport (judo) does interest me, and I like it! :D

    not sure if there's much in the way of English interest today apart from the triathlon.

    edit: forget what I said, there's is some English interest today, in the bowls. the badminton, the hockey, the judo, the squash, the swimming, ( not netball though, England don't play their first match in that til tomorrow). think triathlon is England's main medal chance today though.

    The schedule on the official website is not displaying correctly, the formatting is not working well on firefox and chrome.
    No events show on ie, and no events show on the iPad using safari or iCab and the formatting at the top is not correct.

    Shown here

    can't believe they're showing the new Zealand vs Guernsey match of all matches, of the 3 matches taking place this one likely has the least interest of people in the UK.

    I suppose they can only feature one match at a time and must cover everyone. It's probably prime time viewing down in NZ. Bit scunnered I missed the haka, though.

    Whats the situation with the Red Button?

    I mean how many streams are they planning on using on the red button and will they differ to the BBC 1 line up?

    England now up 5-0, the commentators not sounding very excited about it though.
