I do feel for Nick Mullins sometimes, he seems to (BT aside) get some awful commentary partners (Phil Vickery at the RWC being another example).”

BBC probably could - but it sounds like they won't, certinaly not now. Darren Lethem did post on the CWG's thread about what the BBC had their own comms at. However some of the world feeds have some 'BBC' voices such as Paul Mitchell on Bowls, Mullins to a sorts here on the rugby as he does tennis for the beeb still. However with having Inverdale and co pitchside seems bizarre not having likes of Cotter there for the BBC or a part of a better world feed. Mannix and Moore aren't on the IRB feed are they(?) they are pretty poor. I go on about Scott Hastings unhealthily.
With the BBC guys at the disposal (even from the regions) which I mentioned above or the likes of Starmer-Smith it's baffling. I sensed Mullins would be there from his tweets this week but was looking forward to a strong BBC line up for the rugby, in probably the best sevens atmosphere ever this weekend. (Bar maybe the Borders sevens circuit, being biased Borderer, which includes more than just overhyped Melrose by the way
)
