Interesting to see Rob Curling and Virginia Wade presenting on-site from the French Open Tennis in a studio overlooking the courts at Roland Garros. Can't remember them doing that before.

I caught a bit of the repeat late last night. Wasn't it Martin Gillingham?

I think you're right, I have a bit of a mental block when it comes to the two of them. Hammond is up in Edinburgh today so I'd say it was Gillingham.

Mark Robson is doing England v. Barbarians on Sky with a Mike (Tindall?)

They're showing live coverage from the Ulster Senior Championships, then following the Unlster teams in the All-Ireland Championships

Some details here

I think Tyrone v Armagh was shown live today

Golden Lions v. British & Irish Lions

It's as you were from Sky with Evans, Wallace & Greenwood with Lazenby in the studio with Harrison & Barnes in the commentary box.

Simon Lazenby did indicate on Saturday that it will be, as expected, Harrison & Barnes for the whole tour.

I have to say, I am really enjoying the coverage of the Lions so far. Even Greenwood is growing on me

Yep - I really do enjoy what he has to say as an analyst in the studio role (after the England V Barbarians being the most recent example). It's when he gets too over-enthusiastic in the commentary role that I hope someone in a production role will have a quiet word.

Mark Robson doesn't half squeal whenever a team gets 'white line fever'.

I'd also expect all of Sky's crew to be out there in time for the first test.

For S4C the whole tour it's Wyn Gruffydd and Emyr Lewis with the bootiful Eleri Sion as host.

Is it highlights that S4C have? I am a little disappointed that RTE have no coverage at all.

Yep. Same day highlights of every game, but unlike with the Magners League/Internationals it's Welsh Language only.

I'm sure I saw on the RTE presspack site that they would have highlights of the Test games only.

Possibly. RTE is after all, bankrupt (see other posts!)

Do we think that the Europsort commentators are in Roland Garros ? They probably are but it always sounds like they are in a studio rather than commentary box. The sound is so quiet from the courts. I think they are in a studio which is showing more than one court, hence they can flick to matches with same commentators
