Sunday 6th January - BBC Two Wales
Scrum V Ross Harries presented alongside Jonathan Davies and Sean Holley RaboDirect Pro12 Munster v Cardiff Blues - Wyn Gruffydd Ospreys v Zebre - Nick Webb Connacht v Newport Gwent Dragons - Phil Steele (reporting) Ulster v Scarlets - Gareth Charles and Stuart Davies, with Phil Steele conducting post-match interviews Principality Premiership Pontypridd v Neath - Nick Webb Round-up - Non Evans (reporting) Interview with Rhys Patchell - Ross Harries Interview with Liam Williams and Kieran Murphy from Mumbles v Waunarlwydd in the Swalec Plate Second Round - Ross Harries With apologies to Connacht fans, I'm pleased to hear that Sean Holley has turned down the Connacht job as he's a top, top pundit. He breaks down small facets of the game with real clarity and I find myself learning a lot from his analysis. While he's not a big name in UK-wide terms, I'd like to see him have some involvement in the BBC Network's Six Nations coverage (maybe the Italy v Wales game in his usual Scrum V Live analysis truck role?). |

Anyone who thought Persad may have stopped his BBC Commitment's clearly not. He will continue his BBC role(s) along with C4 Racing.

Rishi will probably continue the Bowls which is one week and the Snooker which is over 2 weeks for the World Championship and a week for the Masters and UK Championship |

Clare Balding and Jake Humphrey are in the same boat, Clare has tweeted she will continue on Olympic and Commonwealth Games for the BBC while stopping Rugby League and Jake said he can still work on the BBC or another Free to Air Broadcaster on Sport alongside BT. Both of them are only contracted for a certain number of days a year and are free to work for whoever the rest of the year although Clare cannot work on Horse Racing for another Channel and Jake will probably not be allowed to host Football anywhere else

Can't claim to have seen lot's of the BDO Darts - however I think with only a 3 commentators it was a bit short. Needed 1 or 2 more numbers.

Tony Green has sounded well past it this year, unfortunately.
Martin Adams did the first 4 sets of the O'Shea v Harms match, before Green took over from him. |

I totally agree with you and others on this. Over the years some darts commentators have tended to be a bit gimmicky, especially when they don't do much commentary on it. What's really impressed me with Jim Proudfoot however is the amount of research he's done and the breadth of knowledge it's given him. It's made him sound the most knowledgeable of the three even though it's his first year.

Can anyone tell me the NBA commentators on Sky Sports right now? If only for how hilariously awful they are. Only caught the reporter's name (Julie Collins).
