When the commentary team is split 1 forward and 1 back (as it should be) theres no one I prefer to listen to than Flatman. The difference between him and Brian Moore is astronomical and although Kay is also very good, Flatman still edges him for me.

Not seen much IRB 7s this campaign so far, but after pre-christmas and the lack of presentation it seemed. I see the more 'social' timing 7s are still getting studio coverage. James Gemmell and co talking between games at the Canada event.

Been a real mixed bag with the 7s and Super Rugby. Yesterday evening they didn't have any studio pres for Vancouver (or at least any while I was watching)
Super Rugby trend seems to be studio coverage on the 2 or 3 games on a Saturday morning but none elsewhere. Although it is odd to have 2 or 3 of them at half 6 in the morning on a Saturday but no studio for the SA games in the afternoon. |

Maybe studio for day 2 of the 7s as it's finals day?

It is something I had thought the BBC should have been doing in the past before the Sunday matches so the one advantage of the new rights agreement is more opportunities for decent highlights. |

Was very surprised to see that Sky is presenting the Indian Wells tennis on site - don't ever recall them doing that before - indeed not sure they've ever presented any Masters 1000 events on site before.
Wonder if this is indirectly linked to the loss of the Champions League with much of the tennis in a more prominent position on SS1. Haven't seen much of it so not sure of all details but at 6pm this evening Marcus Buckland was presenting - talking to Annabel Croft and Leif Shiras - all on site. Does anybody know if anyone else is on site? |

The F1 Show: Australian GP Edition (Sky Sports F1) Presenter: Simon Lazenby presenting from Albert Park in Melbourne Pundits: Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert As The F1 Show is now only on race weekends I expect only the Sky pundits to pop-up now therefore I now list them as 'pundits' instead of 'guests'. |

Dougherty and Roe are terrible. However don't mind/prefer the Sky coverage/commentary from the rest of them - Murray, Beem (particuarly like Beem), Claude Harmon III etc.
