Reporter: Phil Steele

Great to have Jed Thian from the Alternative Rugby Commentary back on the RedZone. Also, a rare outing for Nick Webb (and Stuart Davies for that matter) in the main commentary box; obviously Charlo (and the two regular co-commentators) will be out in France.”

Forgot to post this but over on BBC2 NI

Matthews was pitchside today though... Although nt with McLaughlan... He wasn't sitting in the box...

Today was the story of too many cooks... Fair enough use the talent but I think having Nicol chip in twice each half in his booth it was a bit pointless and a 'too many voices'.

I thought the 3 man team got rid of the stupid analyst role which doesn't work aswell in Rugby as other sports. Matthews did commentate whether he was in the box or not which is why I included him in the commentators for today but thanks for clearing that up mate.

Does anybody else hate Brian Moore on commentary? I find home a complete buffoon and would much rather any of the other co-commentators the BBC have would be used on England games for a change.

I don't 'hate' him but not a fan (see previous page)

Agreed, I get the point of using Matthews and Moore (like them both), but, I would say in general I don't think 3 men in a commentary box works. There is too much talking and it is extremely rare that one of them says something that one co-commentator alone would have missed.

I would add that having Dallaglio with Andy Nicol for the Scot vs Italy game seemed like a pointless exercise in trying to use as many "BIG NAMES" as possible.

Depending on the tournament and where it is they may have the commentators on site or off tube, but it is almost always their own feed as supposed to the European Tour Productions feed.”

Thanks for the reply

Scrum V Live: Newport Gwent Dragons v Glasgow Warriors

Ross Harries presenting from Rodney Parade alongside Martyn Williams, with Sean Holley in the analysis truck

There are no red button alternative commentary options this evening, I presume this is due to how both the Welsh Open snooker and 6 Music Live have been occupying BBCi's attention this week.

Loaded Fight Live- Dom McGuinness hosted. Commentary from Andy Scott and Jamie Moore. They missed the start of the main event due to technical problems and the production values were piss-poor, but at least it was there to be seen.
