Sky Sports have gone the same. It's a new graphics package Alston Elliot have rolled out today. They've said it's across three networks so I presume the other is S4C?

Interesting that S4C didn't overlay the team names on the score bug with Welsh language versions (SCA instead of the Welsh SGA) ; as they did in the World Cup.

Is it true that the Munster V Stade match on SS3 has been dumped behind the red button to show big bash cricket post-match analysis??
If it's is that's disgusting to show analyses over live action.. |

It's not behind the red button at present.
A lot of people were complaining on Twitter that the match was being dumped behind the SS3 Red Button to show big bash post-match stuff. Looks like it is on SS3 now although I think it was behind the red button for the first few minutes though.. |

Have to say I'm enjoying Andrew Cotter's sense of humour this evening. It doesn't seem to come through on the BBC, but in the more relaxed environment of BT Sport he's been brilliant.
Because there have been more all-French or French-Italian games, which get picked up by BT because of the picks system, he's been mostly off-tube on those games on the second channel. It's nice to see him get a bigger game because he did a great job of it in the first half. |

Cotter is a very good Rugby commentator, only using him on the BBC for around 7 matches a year is a waste, so it is excellent that BT are using him. The BBC tend not to give so much room for humour as BT do, in Cotters case the only chance he can be humorous on the BBC is during the Golf when he is alongside Peter Alliss.

He explained how the Premier League tried to gag him to do an interview with Andy Townsend after a game in the 1990s. Magee, days earlier he agreed with Townsend to a post match interview. It was Townsend that explained that to a shocked PL official. During Euro 2004 football finals in Portugal, Eusebio called Jimmy in the middle of a packed stand as he wanted to have a chat with him for about 30minutes. Eusebio told him how he lost his fortune after investing in property in Mozembique before the Civil war in the mid 1970s. |

I kinda hinted that with all the Welsh pundits there Williams might jump ship to ITV. Although notable that Woodward and McGeechan have too folllowing RWC. Jill Douglas had a short lived spell as secondary host on BBC's 6N and I enjoy her presenting duties so happy to see her getting some games. Not sure either channel needs a 'third' presenter - I guess for highlights possibly only. Great to see Lee McKenzie involved too.

D'Arcy is the massive shock there. Otherwise it's pretty good - better than the BBC. Good to see Bortolami appearing as well. Interesting to see Jill Douglas opt for second presenter at ITV rather than sticking as a touchline reporter on the BBC.
It's still a bit 2003 TV though. |

Interesting to see the Eykyn is returning to TV commentary and is not on Radio. Therefore no ABB or McNamara this year. Doubt Eykyn will do a live match though as he will be on highlights instead.

It maybe 2003 but the BBC coverage is quite 1995 as well. Strangely from looking at both coverage details i might just say that the ITV lineup looks better than the BBC. It will be different this year but i think it could make the overall coverage of the tournament better than it was before.
I completely agree. On the one hand there is a bit of sentimentality for the BBC coverage as it is somewhat of a spring tradition, but hopefully ITV will be a breath of fresh air. I'd expect coverage to improve regardless, in the same way that splitting the Champions Cup has markedly increased the standard of its coverage, just because resources are spread less thinly.I do wish ITV had got hold of Austin Healey though. |
