Wally Masur and Lucie Ahl - assume it's the world feed? Sound is out of sync for me too on this match.

It is Wally Masur and Lucy Ahl.
Lucy also did Azarenka's game yesterday with Fred Stolle.

Saturday 2nd June - BBC Two Wales and BBCi

Scrum V Live: Wales v Barbarians

Ross Harries presented from the Millennium Stadium alongside Jeremy Guscott and Robert Jones

Commentators: Gareth Charles and Jonathan Davies

Red button commentators: Rick O'Shea and Rob Appleyard on the Redzone

Pitchside: Phil Steele reporting with Kingsley Jones providing in-game analysis

Graham Thomas voiced a feature on the Barbarians training in Penarth during the build-up. As part of a montage on Shane Williams, we saw clips of the Leinster v Ospreys Pro 12 Grand Final from last weekend which Cennydd Davies commentated on for the Scrum V magazine show. The Redzone commentary wasn't available on Freeview (or if it was it wasn't the main feed on 301 and I couldn't get my red button to work).

Redzone was available, the main feed was the BBC Wales program itself with Harries etc. with commentary by Charles but the Redzone was the 2nd option on 301 with no option of Welsh Language on this time

Thanks for that, I was watching via an old Freeview box on Saturday which I've been having a bit of trouble with so couldn't get my red button to work. I don't think there was a Welsh language commentary for Wales v Barbarians as Ross only trailed the Redzone coverage before each half. Do you know who the producer contributing to the Redzone was on Saturday? Usually it is Bruce Pope but it was Peter Shuttleworth last time out.

Quite pleased they took the main TV feed as the primary audio option, if only because the decision for the Redzone to stay on-air at half-time with them shrinking the main picture into a box with the text number taking up much of the screen has annoyed me this season. I don't see why they opted to do that rather than give Rick and his guests 10 minutes off by fading up the main feed during the break as they always used to.

It was the first time Ross Harries has presented a live Wales game I think - recently when it's not been a network job, Jason Mohammad has been the presenter. Ross' predecessor Gareth Lewis hosted coverage of the odd Wales international against a non-major test playing nations under the Scrum V banner though. Speaking of Lewis, does anyone know why he was taken off Scrum V? I know he presents BBC Radio Wales' drivetime show now but I would have thought they'd prioritise Scrum V and looked to have retained him on there as well. Ross is OK but I much prefer Garerth who I thought was a superb rugby presenter.

International Rugby Union - Sky Sports 1 HD

Alex Payne with Scott Hastings and Dean Ryan at Sky Sports HQ.

Commentary: Mark Robson and Ieuan Evans.

As I thought with it only 1 test, The commentary team for the Welsh tests are doing this one. Odd set up feed as it's a Channel 9 Production over there but Sky are using the Sky Sport NZ Graphics feed!

Oh I'm a happy Scot!!!

The match was shown live on Fox Sports 3 while channel Channel 9 is showing it delayed into all markets deciding to show the Diamond jubilee concert instead. Unsure if Channel 9 will use their own graphics and commentators or simple just rebroadcast Fox Sports coverage

There was Fox advertising around the pitch but also Channel 9 stuff behind the goals. Just to make it confusing.

Ever since the World Cup the adapted 'Sky Sports NZ' graphics have been the ones generally used throughout the Southern Hemisphere. They were used for all games during the Super Rugby season.

Haven't seen enough Super Rugby this year to notice that. I suppose it does look better with 1 set of graphics from all 3 broadcasters. It is a bit of a mess with 3 different tv station logo's everywhere.

I'm sure he was there Friday, but I saw nothing on a particular horse racing forum mentioning his absence (if he was).

He must have headed there after doing the boat pagent on Sunday. I mention it only because I noticed a couple of people on Twitter who fell into the trap of confusing him with Stuart Storey during that event

Saturday 9th June - Sky Sports 2

International Rugby Union: Australia v Wales

James Gemmell presented alongside Michael Lynagh, Jamie Roberts and Scott Quinnell

Commentators: Mark Robson and Ieuan Evans

Robson conducted Sky's post-match interviews from Brisbane although they took Fox Sports Australia's interviews immediately after the final whistle (as well as a few seconds of their commentary when they lost their line to Suncorp Stadium briefly during the second half).

I don't know who was involved in Sky's coverage of the Ireland v New Zealand game I'm afraid. I've not watched any of Sky's rugby coverage since the British & Irish Lions tour three years ago so I needed a Google to find out who Gemmell was. Judging by a slight Antipodean lilt to his voice I'm guessing he's their Super 15 host?

It was Johnnie Hammond and Alan Quinlan in the box for NZ vs. Ireland with Sean Fitzpatrick and Paddy Wallace in the studio. James Gemmell presented that one too, you're right the Difference he presents most of their super rugby (with Rupert Cox as backup) and is Alex Payne's number 2 since Lazenby got the F1 gig.

Anyone know if the commentators are onsite in NZ by the way, they definitely were in AUS and almost certainly Miles & Stuart are in South Africa.

Thanks for the information thelastword. I believe Johnnie Hammond and Alan Quinlan are in New Zealand, I've justed Twitter Searched for the former and found that he has tweeted some pictures from Auckland. Would guess he's doubling up as their post-match interviewer as Mark Robson is did on the Wales game.
