S4C - Gareth Roberts hosting pitchside from Suncorp Stadium, with Gareth Davies pre and post-match analyst. Commentary from Dr. Gwyn Jones (whose voice was gradually getting higher and higher towards the end of the match) and Gareth Davies.

After the match, Rhodri Ogwen Williams hosted from S4C's presumed Llanishen studios, with Emyr Lewis (again, like last week, fresh from Radio Cymru) and Dafydd Jones (rockin' the orange shirt look).

Inverdale went from presenting a Slam for two weeks to reporting on a 250 tour event.
The BBC really do use him appallingly.
They just don't appreciate that they have the best sports presenter in the country on their hands.

Yes but he is the BBC main Rugby presenter. He was also doing the Rowing World Cup this morning, he also presents Athletics and does the Wimbledon highlights shows and is probably first in line when Sue Barker calls it a day to host all tennis on the BBC and he will also host the Olympics so I hardly think hes limited for opportunities on the BBC

If anything you should ask why the BBC are using him as a reporter on this tournament instead of someone like Phil Jones

Does anyone know If Scotland v Samoa is on in the TV here in the UK? SRU said ESPN will show both games Fiji and Samoa but the latter is on the EPG

Anyone know who the comms where on Sco v Fiji on ESPN. I presume world feed.

It sounded like a world feed, well I say sounded as it was a very old school sounding audio feed. Sounded like something off a 1960's/1970's game down a telephone line

Anybody else think David Lloyd completely looses the plot at times he was on the commentary team for last nights T20 Derbyshire v Durham game, he was on about chopping limbs of cricketers, and said that Chesney Hughes, should have been a boxer, he kept on so much that Ian Ward, eventually, said ooh maybe Chesney is coming down this end to fight u

It was the local Fijian TV coverage and commentary team. The quality was dire to say the least and I was amazed that they repeated the poor quality on Saturday Afternoon.

He does, but that is part of his style. He balances that enough with proper cricketing discussion to get away with it nine times out of ten. Very occasionally he is unbearable - usually when he starts calling cricketers nicknames based on 1960s TV characters that younger members have never heard of. But last night he was fine - I thought that his running down the Derbyshire teams with the accents was hilarious.

Anyone have the details of Sky Sports' coverage of the South Africa v England international rugby union series? I haven't caught any of their coverage of the series.

All I can say is that Miles Harrison and Stuart Barnes were the commentators.
Match coverage was by Super Sports. I would like to know who provided the commentary in South Africa,.

As mentioned Barnes and Harrison commentated on all the tests and the two games against Barbarians sides

Alex Payne presented all the matches, with Will Greenwood, Thinus Delport, Dean Ryan and Dewi Morris all doing punditry (no more than three in the studio for any match)

Harrison did Sky's pre and post match interviews

Was it Ryan or Morris today? I heard a bit from Delport and Greenwood.

They also had Barnes and a South African from the stadium video link to the studio before the 1st and 2nd test. (Didn't see the build up today.)

They did the same for the first two tests from Australia with Evans and an Aussie video linking to the studio. In both instances it would lead to the Sky Sports onsite analyst asking the questions.

Was Morris today. They did the linkup today, which was Stuart Barnes talking to Bob Skinstad

Dewi Morris in the studio today, alongside Greenwood and Delport.

Barnes again linked up with Bob Skinstad before the test match, leading me to believe that the SuperSport commentators would have been Matt Pearce and Bob Skinstad (I know that for certain this was the pair for the first test, I assume it was the same for the rest of the series).
