Magners League on Setanta Ireland/ Setanta 2

Cardiff v. Glasgow

Anyone know anything about John Forrest. Seems to be a new addition to Setanta this season. Not sure what I think of him yet

BBC's coverage of the indoor Athletics

Host - Jonathan Edwards with Colin "knock knock" Jackson

Commentators - Steve Cram, Paul Dickenson and Steve Backley

Think that is the first time I have heard Backley on the beeb, he sounds good. No Stuart Storey. Big mistake.

Backley has worked for 5Live in the past, if I remember rightly

He has quite a few seasons of schools rugby and French Top 14 behind him, so he is experienced...

Boogity boogity boogity!

Although I much preferred it when the full US programme plus studio was shown, it's still a great way to round off a sporting weekend

I do love the pre race show but i like the fact that the Sky guys chat in breaks. I just wish Sky could show the pre show and still chat in the breaks.

He certainly seemed to get on well with Liam Toland this weekend! They're quite a good combination.

Just watching the USA vs Switzerland Davis Cup tie on Sky Sports Xtra. Don't have any specific comment about the commentators...but the picture quality on some of the cameras seems rather like squinting through a frosted window pane, it's horrible.

Jill Douglas is at Ravenhill (although I don't know whether they used someone different for the earlier Dragons V Munster 'clash').
