I think you are right with Jones. In the Parker Pen Fitzpatrick was with Shaun Edwards. As that came straight after the Lomu tribute.

It's not Inverdale. That's a decent start.

Odd gaffe aside - Inverdale is still the best in the business. I think with him still more of a 'BBC' name (even though he freelances with ITV) he'd stick with the Beeb for their Six Nations/Autumn rugby.

What comes out of his mouth is generally perfectly good, but he always seems a bit bored to me. I prefer the enthusiasm that you get from the Sky and BT presenters. (OK, Craig Doyle in particular can overdo the enthusiasm sometimes, but for me it's still preferable to Inverdale's more stale delivery.)

I've seen a few comments on boxing websites slating Barry Jones for his commentary on this one so I'm assuming Boxnation went with Hawling and Jones over the International Feed.

It was Andy Clarke for BoxNation because John Rawling was at the darts.

Surprised in some ways by it considering he was not any part of the World Cup Coverage, would have felt that ITV would have gone for Craig Doyle if they couldnt have Inverdale. The Merry go round of ITV rugby presenters continues. But Pougatch will be good, and is a solid presenter. Would assume that the commentators will be Nick Mullins and Martin Gillingham when announced. That would have the makings of good coverage.

Round 5 - Leicester Tigers v Bath

Martin Bayfield in the studio with Lawrence Dallaglio and Alex Sanderson.

Commentators: Alastair Eykyn, David Flatman & Austin Healey

Reporter: Tim Cocker

Tim Cocker did the interviews, but for some reason Ali Eykyn did the live link from Welford Road at the very start of the programme.


Aviva Premiership Rugby - Sunday 29 November (ITV)

Round 5 Highlights

Mark Durden-Smith at Twickenham with David Flatman.

SAR v WOR: Nick Mullins, Ben Kay & Austin Healey (as BT Sport)

EXE v HAR: Martin Gillingham

LEIC v BAT: Alastair Eykyn, David Flatman & Austin Healey (as BT Sport)

SAL v NEW: Nick Heath

Very, very pleasing to see ITV relegate a dull televised game to a voiceover in order to show a more exciting game without a ready-made BT commentary.

The F1 Show: 27/11/15:

Presenters: Rachael Brookes and Simon Lazenby presenting live from the Yas Marnia Circuit

Pundits: Eddie Jordan, Mark Webber, David Coulthard
Commentator: Ben Edwards, David Coulthard with Tom Clarkson doing pit reports

F1 Abu Dhabi GP (Sky)

Presenter: Simon Lazenby presenting live from the Yas Marina Circuit
Pundits: Johhny Herbert, Damon Hill, Martin Brundle with Anthony Davidson at the Skypad

Martin Brundle was not there for most of the build up although he did an interview with Ron Dennis for part of the show. Anthony Davidson returned to Skypad duties for the final time this season, also Brundle took Hill with him on his grid walk this week.

Next year I will expand my commitments of writings these and my write up will also include F1 Midweek Report (Sky) and every F1 Show.

Saturday 28th November - Sky Sports Box Office

WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO World Heavyweight Championship Match: Wladimir Klitschko v Tyson Fury

Johnny Nelson presented from the Esprit Arena, Dusseldorf alongside Carl Froch, Paul Smith Jr and Amir Khan

Commentators: Adam Smith, Glenn McCrory and Carl Froch

Adam Smith doubled up as Sky Sports Box Office's interviewer - sadly SSBO went to a break just as Fury was giving his immediate post-fight thoughts, finished off with a sing song, live on German TV!

In the United States, HBO had commentary on the fight from Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman and Roy Jones Jr, with Harold Lederman acting as their unofficial scorer. I think the HBO team were working off-tube.

German host broadcaster RTL had in-ring presentation and interviews from Florian Konig and Lennox Lewis - who were switching between the German and English languages. RTL's commentary came from Stefan Fuc-kert. Minus the hyphen. Yes, that really is his name!

Thanks for the details Mr Difference. I'm a little bit surprised that Nick Halling and Jim Watt were not used for this fight rather than being on duty for the Degale fight.

Sky boxing is the Adam and Johnny show now. With the Fury fight being the bigger one and on PPV, Smith probably thought he needed to be there from a 'suit' perspective, so might as well commentate on it as two crews were needed on Saturday.

Your job may be made easier if the BBC lose the rights to next seasons coverage, Suzi Perry seemed uncertain about if they would be back in Melbourne. Saying that they would "hopefully" be there seems ominous

Champions Tennis and "Tie Break Tens" at Royal Albert Hall on Sky Sports seems slightly unusual in several respects:

1) I thought this event has been on ITV4 in previous years

2) Sky only appear to be showing this event today - no coverage listed for tomorrow when the final (of the Champions event) takes place.

3) Simon Reed is commentating - don't remember him ever commentating on Sky before.
