With the graphics on the French match today disappearing during replays as French broadcasters' graphics seem to do.

Interesting that they've gone with the BBC's font etc. and merged it with the world feed design from last year.
Yeah the BBC today where playing guess when the graphics disappeared with their yellow BBC logo - which has to be said sticks out really badly with this 'adopted' new look.

As an aside, ITV's Cricket World Cup highlights hosts currently include Richard Henwood, Tom Skippings and Georgie Bingham.
Almost certainly then it'll be presented out of vision, as Skippings and Henwood are usually only used to do voice-overs.

Possibly - both have presented in-vision before, Tom Skippings hosted Football League Extra from grounds on a few occasions during its final season in 2003/04, while Richard Henwood presents Sky News' Sportsline. But yeah, given that they are the two regular voiceover reporters on ITV's UEFA Champions League Extra Time and Premiership Rugby Highlights, you'd expect that to be the case.

Sunday 8th February - BBC Two Wales

Scrum V Six Nations Special

Jason Mohammad presented alongside Jonathan Davies, Gareth Thomas and Gwyn Jones, with Mark Ring at the bar

Wales v England - Eddie Butler, Brian Moore and Martyn Williams, with S4C's Dot Davies conducting post-match interviews
Italy v Ireland - Bethan Clement (voiceover), with commentary from Conor McNamara
France v Scotland - Ross Harries (feature report), with commentary from Andrew Cotter

Wales Under-20s v England Under-20s - Bethan Clement (voiceover), with commentary from Andy Moore
Wales Women v England Women - Non Evans (voicing clips from the bar)

Sean's spotlight (analysis features on Wales v England and Scotland v Wales) - Sean Holley
Scrum V Classic Cuts - Wales v Scotland 1971 (John Taylor's conversion) - Eddie Butler (voiceover), with commentary from Bill McLaren

The Wales Under-20s defence coach Richard Hodges was in the studio to talk about his team's match. They also had a few new daft features, such as the Scum V Rant Box (members of the studio audience sounding off about the Wales match), the studio audience raising pieces of paper to show who they think will win the Scotland v Wales match next weekend and Mark Ring performing a magic trick (believe it or not - a play on his nickname)!

Very good. But I think it isn't necessarily limited to cricket. Across the board lots of sports are adopting this style of in-game commentary and it's worrying that the viewers are now frequently more informed than the experts.

Eddie Butler on a Scotland game... Been a LONG time! Trying to rack my brains. Cotter has done Scotland v England since 2009 at least.

In fact Eddie Butler's last game/apparence to Murrayfield - 2009 v Australia in the Autumn(?) Please correct me there if i'm wrong just thinking out loud. So must be 2008 since Butler has done a Scotland 6 Nations game? Again I could have just a big memory lapse there.

I agree with you, when Channel Ten are all pally and matey, it's classed as refreshing and entertaining. Promoting Andrew Flintoff as going into 'I'm A Celebrity' this weekend is just the latest PR stunt.

There is also a rose-tinted nature to all of this, there was a reason Billy Birmingham was able to play on the Victorian jingoistic nature of Lawry and the winding up of each other by him and Greig.

It certainly wasn't the case that the Channel Nine team knew the Sri Lankan and Asian touring sides of the 1980s and early 1990s in huge depth.

Channel's Nine coverage is far from perfect, like many other broadcasters, but it rates strongly and still shows Australian summer internationals FTA, something I'm sure a lot of cricket fans from other nations wish they had!

Very interesting indeed. Is this a bit of a promotion for Cotter, are they preparing for life without Butler, bit of a shock appointment here. Also Inverdale doing the Scotland game with Logan in Paris.

Suspect it's slightly logistical, if they want Butler/Inverdale doing the Ireland game it makes more sense. Gives them more time and is probably slightly easier than trying to get out of Paris in a hurry late on a Saturday evening

Exactly. I think we sometimes read too much into things on here but i agree Alex. They wouldnt be done in Paris until 9pm French time so makes perfect sense to have the team for the BIG game of the weekend there in plenty of time.

Yep, as we've already seen in the Champions Cup this season just one unexpected travel event can throw plans for the rest of the weekend into chaos!
