Good Morning Britain

It was a refreshing change to have Ben & Sean present together this morning, they worked very well together along with Katy.

Charlotte is on holiday too this week. Adil is back on Thrusday maybe with Ranvir or Kate (Sean? instead).

I haven't been able to watch far enough to see if there's an explanation for it, but they went straight into the news from the 6am opener.

Piers is off.

Still normally do a similar segment, talked a bit after the first news story

ITV have released their Rugby World Cup schedule. GMB looks like it will be cut short on only 2 occasions, Wednesday the 9th of October and possibly Friday the 1st of November if the time listed is Kick-off.

Looks like This Morning will be the most affected daytime show with mostly 1030 matches although oddly Loose Women isn’t affected as they’ve filming throughout the tournament

Ranvir Singh and Richard Bacon are today’s presenters, with Sean Fletcher.

Needs Piers Morgan back I need to be woken up
Properly

I can see the playoff ending up on ITV4 at the last minute unless it features a home nation.

Yeah. All other matches are on ITV4 unless they either feature a home nation or take place on a weekend. Why is that one match an exception?

Unlike football the 3rd place play off isn't treated as a dead rubber and will almost certainly feature two of the top teams in the world or England, so worth showing. It's only sacrificing an episode of Lorraine, probably without Lorraine that week.
