I haven't said what the tournament is or who is sanctioning it.
It may be entirely coincidental that the PDC has a tournament in January too. |

I imagine John Lloyd didn't take much persuading.

Yeah but did you see their interactive coverage of Tour? No commentary and a picture that took up about 1/8th of the screen with no way of making it full-screen.

Simon Reed too. He is very good. I am suprised it took the BBC so long to use him after his years on Eurosport. If I remember rightly, Reed was ITVs tennis and ice skating commentator back in the 1980s

Yeah i know, hopefully with their own production crew doing the broadcast they may do a better job, but the fact that their willing to try putting more things on the red button is a step in the right direction.

Not an ITV production though - it's being made by TWI.

Apologies didn't quite phrase it right. I'm guessing ITV will be getting the feed straight from TWI like with the BBC and snooker as supposed to the Tour which French television produce for their own channels and then gets distributed internationally through a network of other channels like Versus.

Yesterday's Rugby Union:-
Scotland 'A' V Georgia - Evelyn Coull as presenter, with Hugh Maclllinnein and Ailean Domhnallach commentating for BBC Alba. During half time they showed highlights from Scotland - New Zealand the Saturday previous, but had Gordon Townsend as a Co-Commentator (It was Andy Nicol as usual). Wales V Canada - Gareth Lewis, Gareth Rhys and Ieuan Evans as Studio Guests with Commentary from Gareth Charles and Stuart Davies for BBC 2 Wales. |

Scotland vs South Africa
Nick Mullins and Andy Nicol On another note, interesting to hear Peter Drury today on the Grand Slam of Darts, if John Rawling is there too then it'll be interesting to see who'll be commentating on the Championship football games for ITV |

I'm sure Brian Moore is more biased towards England than Phillip Matthews is for Ireland.

I think Moore is good too. I wouldn't have said that Matthews is particularly biased. They are both far superior to Guscott & Davies who really get on my nerves!

All of the rugby union co-commentators are biased to their home nation, Brian Moore included? But what's wrong with that? They have one from each country... it all balances out.
Anyway, Phillip Matthews wasn't biased today... the ref had a shocker and he told it like it was. |

Does this mean we get Bob Symonds for England RU highlights?

more a case of me missing either an apostrophe after England, or the 'F' in RFU.

Scotland V Canada (Bank of Scotland Corporate Test RU) BBC One Scotland / BBC Online:- John Beattie and David Sole (originally thought it was Davie Callum) Quote:
David Sole.
Most broadcasters (apart from New Zealand/South Africa) will take the originating English language commentary anyway. Last edited by Ian Cleverly : 22-11-2008 at 15:09. Reason: co-commentator correction |

BBC One Scotland / BBC Online:- John Beattie and David Sole (originally thought it was Davie Callum) indeed. Was confused for a bit, as David Sole did a few commentary pairings with someone for the RWC2007, and thought he may still have been doing that. Most broadcasters (apart from New Zealand/South Africa) will take the originating English language commentary anyway. |
