Saturday 18th February - BoxNation
WBC Heavyweight Championship: Vitali Klitschko v Dereck Chisora Jim Rosenthal presented from the Olympiahalle, Munich alongside Steve Bunce and David Haye Commentators: John Rawling and Paul Smith John Rawling conducted BoxNation's post-fight interviews with Chisora, Frank Warren and Klitschko in the ring. They also took German host broadcaster RTL's initial post-fight interview with Chisora, which was conducted in English by Kai Ebel. Going by the clips I've found of the fight on YouTube, I think Paul Dempsey was commentating on their showing of Saturday's WBA Interim Super Middleweight Championship bout, Brian Magee v Rudy Markussen, from the Brondby Hallen in Denmark. |

Wouldn't say Jill has been demoted from the Rugby. She has only ever been pitchside reporter there. On rare occasion she has presented coverage, usually as cover when Scotland played Italy etc in a dead-rubber

Steve Lillis was BoxNation's roving reporter on the night. It wasn't Paul Dempsey commentating on the Magee fight, but an Irish chap I've heard doing continental boxing international feeds before but never found out what his name his. He doesn't sound a million miles away from Will Downing, but I'm pretty sure it's not him.

I disagree, she was a host along with John Inverdale and Craig Doyle, then Gabby comes along and she seems to go back to the touchline.

Heres a question however - Does anyone think Jill Douglas presenting Celtic League Rugby for Setanta had any influence in her demotion? |

Scarlets V Benetton Treviso (RaboDirect Pro 12 RU)
(S4C) Gareth Roberts hosting from Parc y Sgarlets with Derwyn Jones in the studio. Commentary from Huw Llewellyn Davies and Gwyn Jones (helpfully plugging the time Scrum V was to be on on Sunday, as he would be on it). Dot Davies is the pitchside reporter with Dafydd Jones, although Dot's umbrella is taking up more TV space than her, as it is that big. Wyn Gruffydd is solo commentator on English language duty. |

I thought Richie Benaud had retired from commentary, and was now only doing studio-based interviews and features?

(Even my Kiwi sister-in-law doesn't like these female commentators, before anyone accuses me of sexism.) |

That was announced a few years back but never came to pass. Instead, he seems to be the 'third commentator' amongst the three on air at any one time, dropping in gems of analysis and anecdotes but not calling the actual deliveries in the way that he used to. He also perhaps does less stints than the others. But he is still a great, and at the age of 81, still exceptionally perceptive and makes well-thought out points all of the time. The only thing that is missing is the knighthood.
I'm pleased that he's still working as a commentator, albeit in a reduced role. |

Ok, apologies for this - so sorry
But I am a bloke and its a bit blokey, but who do you think is the fittest of the 4 Rugby Union women that do the on field interviews ? Sarra Elgin ? Jill Douglas ? Sonja McClaughlan ? Dot Davies ? All 4 are excellent at their roles but who catches the eye the most ? |

England V Wales (RBS Six Nations RU)
(S4C) Gareth Roberts hosting pitchside from Twickenham (before moving to their studio at half time) with Gareth Edwards, Nicky Robinson and Shane Williams, with commentary from Huw Llewellyn Davies and Gwyn Jones. Interviews were from Dot Davies. Brynmor Williams was analyst in the tactics truck. With an hour from the end of the game until the programme finished, Huw and Gwyn stayed in their commentary position, and you could see to Gwyn's right the amount of space the BBC took up. |

Bill Lawry's role seems to have been reduced even more than Benauds.
