Sunday 4th May - BBC Two Wales
Scrum V Sunday Ross Harries presented alongside Jonathan Davies and Robert Jones RaboDirect Pro12 Scarlets v Newport Gwent Dragons - Gareth Charles, Jonathan Davies and Martyn Williams Connacht v Cardiff Blues - Phil Steele Zebre v Ospreys - Cennydd Davies and Garth Llewellyn (as S4C Red Button) Ulster v Leinster & Treviso v Glasgow Warriors - Ross Harries (reporting) Interview with Cory Allen - Ross Harries Report on the Gnoll and Creunant primary schools in Neath filming their own version of Scrum V (included an interview with Dan Biggar) - Phil Steele Right at the very end of the programme, Ross Harries voiced some clips from SWALEC Finals Day at the Millennium Stadium - very brief highlights from CRCC v Llantwit Major in the Bowl Final and Merthyr v Rhiwbina in the Plate Final, plus an early try from Pontypridd v Cross Keys in the main SWALEC Cup Final taken directly from S4C's live coverage, with the match still ongoing as Scrum V Sunday reached its conclusion. I guess they might show fuller highlights of those games on next weekend's show (which, with no Welsh regions in the Pro12 playoffs, could be the last of the season), what with the Principality Premiership regular season having come to an end. The feature about Cory Allen included a clip of his Try of the Tournament from the 2013 Hong Kong Sevens, getting the caption "courtesy of IRB" with Nigel Starmer-Smith's world feed commentary on it being kept in. |

Bath v Quins was always going to be the big game, as it's the only non-dead rubber. I have to say I'm surprised (and disappointed) that Sarries v Tigers is not being shown out of the remaining dead-rubber clashes though.

European Rugby Champions Cup Playoff
London Wasps v Stade Français (first leg) Sunday 18 May, 15:00 - live on BT Sport Stade Français v London Wasps (second leg) Saturday 24 May, 13:45 - live on Sky Sports As expected the games are shared, with BT getting Wasps' home leg. It seems to fit nicely alongside BT's Premiership semi final coverage with Sky getting their game just before they show the Heineken Cup final. I'd like to know if there's an equivalent of the away goals rule in this playoff - we don't usually have two-legged ties so I have no idea. |

Will probably depend on where the final is, don't think they've got as far as agreeing a host yet (Milan was the location for an ERC final next season) let alone agreeing who'll be the host broadcaster
If I had to guess though I imagine it would be something like if it was in England it'd be BT while if it was in Scotland or Wales it would be Sky Sports |

Here's who'll be broadcasting what on the final day of the RaboDirect Pro12 regular season, with all matches kicking off at 6.30pm on Saturday:
Glasgow Warriors v Zebre - BBC Alba Leinster v Edinburgh - TG4 Munster v Ulster - RTE Two and BBC Two Northern Ireland Ospreys v Connacht - BBC Two Wales Scarlets v Cardiff Blues - S4C They'll be no live coverage of Newport Gwent Dragons v Treviso on UK TV. I'm not sure if Mediaset in Italy will televise that game and/or Glasgow v Zebre, neither game appears to be scheduled going by their online listings. As for the Pro12 Play-Offs, it'll be interesting to see if BBC Two Wales or S4C broadcast a semi-final match seeing as it now looks highly unlikely that a Welsh region will make the top four, which would be the first time this has happened since the Play-Offs were created. In previous years, the top semi-final has been on BBC Two Wales and the final on S4C in even numbered years, with the reverse being the case in odd numbered years. I hope this continues this year, as it'll be good for S4C's retiring commentator Huw Llywelyn Davies to bow out with a final. |

Saturday 10th May - BBC Two Wales
Scrum V Live: Ospreys v Connacht Ross Harries presenting from the Liberty Stadium alongside Dafydd James and Martyn Williams (the latter heading to the analysis truck to update tonight's other Pro12 games) Commentators: Gareth Charles and Jonathan Davies Reporter: Phil Steele S4C Y Clwb Rygbi: Scarlets v Cardiff Blues Gareth Roberts presenting from Parc y Sgarlets alongside Dafydd Jones and Rhodri Gomer-Davies Commentators: Huw Llywelyn Davies and Gwyn Jones Reporter: Owain Gwynedd I'm not sure who is on English language Red Button commentary duty for S4C. I don't think BBC Two Wales have a Welsh language equivalent today due to their various other Red Button commitments including the Eurovision Song Contest. Anyone know if the Wales Probables v Possibles game at the Liberty Stadium on Friday 30th May is likely to be televised? |

Nothing definite as yet, although for some reason Digiguide lists BBC 1 Wales as showing Six Nations games the day after (31st May)

Aviva Premiership Rugby (Final Round) - Saturday 10 May (BT Sport)
As mentioned already all 6 matches kicked off simultaneously, with Quins v Bath on BT Sport 1 and Saints v Wasps on BT Sport 2. Harlequins v Bath (BT Sport 1) Craig Doyle presenting from the studio alongside Lawrence Dallaglio and Jacques Burger. Commentators: Nick Mullins, Ben Kay & Austin Healey Reporter: Sarra Elgan Northampton Saints v London Wasps (BT Sport 2) Martin Bayfield presenting from Franklin's Gardens alongside Joe Simpson. Commentators: Alastair Eykyn & Matt Dawson BT Sport 2's coverage was a little low-rent today with no separate reporter (Ali Eykyn did pre-match interviews and Martin Bayfield did half-time ones - I didn't see if there was anything at full time) and only one co-comm. I had expected Jill Douglas to report and a former (or maybe current) forward to join Ali and Matt in commentary. |

An on-screen graphic noted that S4C will be showing both Pro12 Semi-Finals, while over on BBC Two Wales Ross Harries mentioned that the Pro12 Grand Final would be the last Scrum V Live game of the season. I'm not sure if that match will be exclusive (as far as the Welsh channels are concerned, naturally) to BBC Two Wales or if S4C will be able to screen it live as well. |

Eurosport have had 5 cycling stages from different races in the last 24 hours.
Can anyone list the commentators and co-commentators for each, to see how they divvied them up? |

Four Days of Dunkirk - Declan Quigley and Magnus Backstedt Tour of Azerbaijan - Declan Quigley did the Sunday Live stage (not sure who with) Jonathan Harris Bass did the other H/L shows *I think* Tour of California - Matt Stephens and Brian Smith Women's Tour of Britain - as ITV4 |
