Hope some of you can help,
I know of a young person (unfortunately not myself) who will have the oppportunity to meet the BBC's commentary team in their commentary position at Wales v Ireland (Millenium Stadium) on Saturday. I've been looking in listings on the net (BBC/S4C etc) but can't find any details of who does the commentary on any broadcast service (except our very own BBC Radio Ulster team - Jim Neilly and Philip Rainey). Is there anyone out there who knows who are S4C's commentary team? I'm asking in case there's a former international commentating who I should make the person aware of. Is there anyone who played for their national team on BBC Radio Wales / Radio Cymru?
I remember watching (I think 2 years ago) a Six Nations match on S4C - would I be correct in saying that S4C are good in covering the pre match build up in the stadium (ie singing etc) without having astons appearing or a picture of the commentary team or the talking heads talking over it?
Is it Ryle Nugent / Tony Ward for RTE television? What about Radio?
Hope someone out there can help fill in some of the details - the young person who has gained this opportunity has had a dream come true, and I'm trying to ensure that anyone they might encounter who they might want to meet is known about before they go. Thanks in anticipation.
