SWALEC League Division 3 West A
Trimsaran v Pontyberem - Rick O'Shea (reporting)

With the match being a 4.15pm kick-off and Scrum V Sunday running from 5.45-6.30pm, they kept the Newport Gwent Dragons v Leinster highlights edit until ten minutes before the end of the show, with Ross and Jonathan conducting a live interview with Dragons coach Kingsley Jones following on from the edit.

Bethan Clement introduced the three other Pro12 edits plus a short feature on an Ospreys social event after their game in Treviso and was also in the studio to do her news round-up midway through the show.

Rick O'Shea's report was primarily about Trimsaran player Carl Griffiths, who had to stop playing until he could get some size 21 boots! After that feature, they showed a clip of Pontyberem referee Nigel Owens taking a tumble in Saturday's Connacht v Edinburgh Pro12 game, which was pulled directly off Sky's live coverage with all the graphics left in, including the "Sky Sports 1 Live" one in the top right hand corner. The programme's closing montage showed a couple of "the greatest tries that never were" from the famous 1973 Barbarians v New Zealand game (complete with Cliff Morgan's commentary) to mark the 125th anniversary of the Barbarians.

BBL play-offs: BBC Sport to broadcast final live on 10 May

The 2015 British Basketball League play-off final at London's O2 Arena on 10 May is to be shown live on the BBC Sport website and BBC Red Button.
It is the league's showpiece event and the finale of an eight-month season.
"The BBL is honoured to have secured a broadcast partner for our play-off finals," said chairman Ed Percival.
BBC executive editor Ron Chakraborty added: "Basketball is a popular sport and we're pleased to be bringing audiences to the play-off final."
The game tips off at 16:00 BST.

The London Marathon on the BBC

Gabby Logan presents. With commentary by Steve Cram, Brendan Foster, Jo Pavey, Rob Walker and Tanni Grey-Thompson.

Unusually, the Marathon coverage will be starting on BBC2 at 8.30am before switching to BBC1 at 10am, presumably because the Andrew Marr Show can't be moved or rested at such an important political time.

less build up for the rugby now the football has gone to extra time,
what they going to do if it goes to pens...

They've got 45 mins yet until kickoff.

and now its 2-2 in football extra time..

It's half time in extra time, 15 more minutes takes us to 2:45, so the rugby should be fine to start at 3 or just after. We have 15-minute buildups all the time for rugby.

They've just announced it'll follow on straight after.

Be good to hear some fresh voices instead of the over the hill and frankly embarrassing Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen.

Certainly David Millar is very knowledgeable and interesting - he'll be well worth hearing.
