Maybe they might bring in John Davies from Sky Sports News, who is the host of their Welsh international football coverage, or now that ESPN's rugby union coverage is coming to an end perhaps Sarra Elgan (once of S4C's Y Clwb Rygbi) could be an option. Not being a Radio Wales Drivetime listener, I'd quite like to see Gareth Lewis returning to rugby coverage as I thought he was a great host of Scrum V. You'd have to imagine that Scrum V's bigger names will stay put, even if BBC Wales does lose live Pro12 rights.”
Personally I don't see much changing for Sky, it's only 30 games a season, which is essentially one a week with 8 double game weekends. They can juggle that with Quinnell, Ieuan Evans, Tyrone Howe, Alan Quinlan and Paul Wallace (along with a bit of Scottish and Italian representation)
John Davies would have probably had more of a chance if Sky had got the Welsh Autumn internationals
