Well if Lewis Moody is providing punditry i would assume that he would be in vision, however he has had interview practice (at wimbledon for example) so he should be fine, Jason Mohammed will be busy with Final Score and the fact that it is the FA Cup first Round so that is why he wont be available, have to say that i am surprised that they didnt use Ross Harries though.
They don't even have ad breaks for him to transfer between being presenter and commentator. Chris Hollins is mostly a BBC guy, isn't he? He's been doing Champions Cup rugby for BT and could do it (and would be an English voice if they ruled out Ross Harries based on him working predominantly for BBC Wales). |

"And commentary on this match came from Brian Moore and...myself."

Cotter has done VT's and stuff before so this basically a Hi and Bye link with a little pitchside analysis - basically done outwith the commbox. For a highlights show pretty straight forward.
They will cleverly do it so If Cotter does a piece to camera at the start they will prob have a pre-game interview then it cuts to him in the commbox... Or likely it could be the programme starts with Cotter in the box - then highlights - then interviews - then pitchside analysis. I could be wrong but I'm sure Cotter done some sports bulletins on TV when he was at STV. |

Dont think that Chris Hollins has done any work for BBC Sport, the only BBC work he has done since leaving BBC Breakfast is Watchdog. Seeing that Ross Harries has done some matches before on BBC (i think it was either at the 6 Nations this year, or one of the autumn internationals last year) it would be reasonable for him to be there though.
Ross Harries presented the BBC network coverage of Ireland v Wales from Dublin in the 2014 Six Nations, which took place during the Winter Olympics when the likes of Gabby Logan and Jason Mohammad were away in Sochi for that. He also presented the Scrum V Six Nations Specials because of Mohammad's other commitments and was a reporter on UK-wide coverage of Wales home games in the Six Nations and last year's Autumn Internationals. As he's not regularly involved in BBC Radio Wales/Cymru's coverage of Wales internationals (as someone like lead commentator Gareth Charles is, which probably precludes him from doing "Super Saturday" games for instance), it would be reasonable to involve him in their England highlights programmes should they not need him as a reporter in Cardiff. Alternatively Gareth Lewis, the previous regular Scrum V presenter who covered for Ross during his recent paternity leave, would be a strong candidate too. |

I'm fairly sure Chris Hollins has worked for BBC Sport as reporter on Final Score and perhaps also as a voiceover reporter on FA Cup editions of Match of the Day during the early to mid 2000s. But, sports news bulletins aside, I think that's as far as it goes in this respect.

Not impressed with ABB. Bit better than McNamara who decided to give inane facts instead of describing play but ABB was very dithery and half a yard behind, stumbled over a number of decisions.
I thought Ali Bruce-Ball was pretty decent in the Six Nations but seemed worse yesterday (throught the half an ear I had on the Sco-Arg game). Why Cotter didn't do the game I don't really know... |
