one would assume, there will be idents and break bumpers.

There are endboards, saw one yesterday, rugby ball on the logo and a sort of dimple affect on the background (again from a rugby ball)

Anyone seen anything about who will be performing the official version of World in Union this year?


It looks, and sounds, like Rhydian Roberts.
Instrumentation is appalling this time round.

Not a patch on 2011.

You're right, it's not great, is it? I still have a massive soft spot for 2007, as it is so wonderfully cheesy, with lots of singers lending their voices and some wonderful key changes. Plus, IIRC, ITV took an obscure part of the track as their main break sting, so it was fun finding that (I eventually did!)

The wording on that makes it look like he is just cashing in - it's a re-release and they state it is him performing the official RWC song rather than the official version for 2015. Plus he isn't English.

Do the home nations have separate, more partisan, coverage of their games, in particular England v Wales?

Wales do their own pres.

Will imagine however hard they try, ITV will be fiercely pro England next weekend.

UTV last did their own presentation for the 2007 RWC. In 2011 it was all ITV.

That STV break bumpers and idents already in use. As said there should be a min of three, it may will be four.

ITV had a rugby themed ident into Corrie last night (I think). Don't think I've seen it before.

Paloma Faith has recorded World in Union for ITV's coverage.

Presumably they won't be using the official opening titles so.
