Thanks for the correction, I must have missed Bob's first (few) show(s) as a presenter on talkSPORT. I'm listening at the moment, he's doing a good job from what I've heard so far.

Interesting news. I know 5 Live have called upon Gareth Lewis as a reporter a few times, but while he's an experienced anchorman I've not heard of him commentating before. You would know better than me Ian, but I don't think he's ever commentated for Radio Wales on things like the Heineken Cup - usually those games would be the domain of Charlo, Nick Webb and Gareth Rhys Owen. Hope he did well though, I would be interested to hear what the 5 Live listeners who post on here thought if they caught their coverage of the game.
Possibly drifting a little off-topic here, but do you know why Gareth Lewis moved from Scrum V to Good Evening Wales? I've got to assume this must be because BBC Wales management view hosting the Radio Wales drive time programme as being more important than presenting their TV and radio coverage of regional rugby, as for my money Gar was a tremendous presenter on Scrum V, easily as good as any of the sports hosts on network BBC.
