Harrison Gillingham/Champion Ward Though as I've said I expect Ward to also be doing some work as Twickenham stadium announcer, especially for England and knockout games. |

Rugby World Cup 2015
Pool A - England v Fiji The score graphic (as I see from the RWC thread) was soooo close to the top some parts of the World Rugby logo on the right was partly obscured, and for half time talk about the Fiji 'no try' and whatnot it was 'ENG v FIJ', not S4C's 'LLO v FIJ'. In fact, the only times 'LLO v FIJ' were in use was when no additional graphics (ie - subs, Phase play, TMO decisions, etc) were used. Gareth's microphone lead must've been really short, as I couldn't help but notice it didn't even head straight down to the floor, but off screen at a jaunty angle! |

If I recall correctly, ITV didn't use abbreviations on their half-time and full-time graphics, just team logos. |

The highlights of England-Fiji on the World Rugby YouTube channel have commentary from Simon Ward and (I think) Andy Gomarsall. Presumably they were doing a separate world feed.

Also worth mentioning that last night ITV went with the Premiership Rugby style of highlights programme. Mark Durden-Smith hosted from in and around Twickenham with Ugo Monye and David Flatman |

Eykyn and Quinlan would have been a significantly better commentary pairing than Ward and Murphy.

With regards to the World Feed, it's been a pretty strong group from what I've heard so far |

Murphy wasn't very good from what I heard. His voice didn't project very well for commebtsry, making him hard to hear.
This is on of the big problems people seem to have when they first start out in commentary. |

Murphy wasn't great no. Bar Williams it is a woeful co-comms lineup.

Was on my way back from Gloucester so didn't see any of that game, not a great combination?
