I didn't catch all of the pre-match features but of the ones I saw, Jed Thian from the Alternative Rugby Commentary fame did a satirical take on Samoan rugby. Jed has been used on the alternative Fanscene Red Button commentaries on Friday night Autumn Internationals in past seasons.
Some more rugby news:- Quote:

Botham mentioned in his Mirror column today that they are commentating from a studio in England for the India v England cricket series due to Sky not stumping up a 500K facilitating fee on top of the money they have already paid for the rights
Good on Sky for digging there heels in, I expect the India board were expecting Sky to cave in last minute or come to some sort of arrangement |

Sunday 18th November - BBC Two Wales
Scrum V Ross Harries presented alongside Jonathan Davies, Kingsley Jones and Gareth Thomas Autumn Internationals Wales v Samoa - Gareth Charles and Jonathan Davies, with Phil Steele conducting post-match interviews England v Australia - Conor McNamara and Brian Moore Scotland v South Africa - Andrew Cotter and Andy Nicol This week's features saw Ross Harries voice a montage surmising the reasons for Wales' slump in form and he also conducted an interview with All Blacks legend Sir Colin Meads, while Rick O'Shea and Jed Thian looked back on classic Wales v New Zealand moments to preview next Saturday's match. They also showed a snippet of Huw Edwards' interview with WRU Group Chief Executive Roger Lewis from BBC One Wales' The Wales Report. They didn't show any clips from the Ireland XV v Fiji game for whatever reason, with the score captions left in (including the BBC Three dog on England v Australia) for brief edits of the other two games. It was about a 10 minute edit with 20 minutes of analysis on Wales v Samoa. |

Ulster Rugby Live - BBC NI Red Button
Treviso v Ulster
Commentator: Jim Neilly This was shown on freeview on 301 in Northern Ireland and on other platforms. They had no studio, reporters, half time analysis etc. like they would do for an Ulster home match and they just showed the match with Jim Neilly commentating presumably from BBC NI in Belfast. It was the like the snooker on the Red Button where during the interval they show the graphic of whos playing etc. |

Sunday 25th November - BBC Two Wales
Scrum V Ross Harries presented alongside Jonathan Davies, Kingsley Jones and Lyn Jones Autumn Internationals Wales v New Zealand - Eddie Butler and Jonathan Davies, with Sonja McLaughlan and S4C's Dot Davies conducting post-match interviews England v South Africa - Alistair Bruce-Ball and Brian Moore Scotland v Tonga - John Beattie and Andy Nicol Ireland v Argentina - Andrew Cotter and Phillip Matthews RaboDirect Pro12 Edinburgh v Ospreys - Gareth Charles and Scott Hastings Munster v Scarlets - Gareth Rhys Owen Round-up (including parts of the two above edits plus Newport Gwent Dragons v Connacht and Zebre v Cardiff Blues) - Phil Steele (reporting) Even though eight games featured on this Sunday's Scrum V, they actually spent longer on Wales than they had done during the previous two weekend programmes, with a 15 minute edit, ten minutes of reaction and the best part of ten minutes previewing next Saturday's Wales v Australia game. This meant highlights of the other seven games were brief tries edits. The original scorebars including the clocks were left in on all four edits of the internationals, including Wales v New Zealand, although the BBC Three dog was removed from the England v South Africa edit. No features this week but they closed the show with Jed Thian from the Alternative Rugby Commentary giving a rallying cry to Wales fans to get behind their team before the Australia game (he's a Kiwi!). |
