Sunday 8th September - BBC Two Wales

Scrum V Sunday

Ross Harries presented alongside Jonathan Davies, Martyn Williams and Sean Holley

RaboDirect Pro12
Newport Gwent Dragons v Ulster - Alun Jenkins
Glasgow Warriors v Cardiff Blues - Phil Steele (reporting)
Treviso v Ospreys - Gareth Charles and Robert Jones, with Cennydd Davies conducting in-vision post-match interviews (as S4C)
Scarlets v Leinster - Gareth Charles and Jonathan Davies, with Phil Steele conducting post-match interviews

Interview with/feature on Sam Warburton - Ross Harries
Feature on RGC 1404 v Ebbw Vale (SWALEC Championship) - Rick O'Shea

So a slightly tweaked name to match a slightly tweaked logo and set of graphics plus a new opening titles sequence. Scrum V Sunday also has a new online spin-off show after the main programme called Scrum V Extra Time, which Ross admitted during his sign-off that they'd laboured the point in promoting!

Those interest in graphics might like to know that Scrum V Sunday kept in BBC Northern Ireland and BBC Alba's graphics on their first two highlights edits, but put their own scorebar and captions onto those from S4C on their edit of the Treviso v Ospreys game, despite using what I expect was S4C's English language red button commentary and one of their post-match interviews for the edit.

My fear is that they begin to prioritise putting Ulster Rugby Live on the Red Button ahead of Scrum V Live.

I'm hoping RedZone will occasionally be on the Red Button when Scrum V Live is and there is the capacity to do so, especially if we then get the option of that or the main feed which I'm sure would please most non-Welsh speaking viewers. I believe the Dragons v Ulster game has taken priority tonight because it's not on BBC Two Northern Ireland.
Can I ask why that is "your fear"?

Surely it's better to have a choice of games than have alternative commentary. (Or, as both BBC Wales & NI are available on Sky, is that why it's an issue?)
It's a fear to me because I live in England, follow Welsh rugby, have Freeview rather than Sky or another platform, so can't watch BBC Two Wales through my television, and would like to watch Scrum V Live on my television rather than online. If we get Scrum V Live on the Red Button, then I think they might as well make a choice of audio options available as they have the capacity to do so - if those options are the main TV feed and Radio Wales this season then great. Ideally we'd still have two BBCi channels on Freeview so both Scrum V Live and Ulster Rugby Live could be screened regularly (or at least one does when there is something else taking up the BBCi platform), but as things stand then personally speaking I'd prefer Scrum V Live to be typically the one that gets priority as has been the case in previous seasons.

Incidentally I've no problem with the Dragons v Ulster being the Freeview 301 game tonight because it wasn't on either Welsh or Northern Irish television, but if it's a choice of a BBC Two Wales match and a BBC Two Northern Ireland match then I'd hope they'd go with the former more often than not.
It seems your fears have been allayed. Cardiff v Connacht is the fixture on the Red Button this week not Ulster v Glasgow (which is surely the much better game).

In any case Quins v Saints is (properly) available for free on Friday night so I doubt many will care.

Not sure who is doing the Welsh language alternative commentary option on the Red Button, as I missed the start of the game. The main television commentary is the first of two options.

It's not like they've got anything else to be doing. I'd expect Harrison, Barnes, Greenwood, Hammond and Payne are under contract so it's not like they're not going to use them.
