S4C are opting for widescreen (on terrestrial) while ITV stick with 4:3, although it's widescreen on digital.
And ITV have missed the opportunity to put a dog on their live coverage - only using it in the highlights programmes to cover the clock.
Not that impressed with the host graphics - they aren't exactly 21st century - but noticed on the highlights last night the NZ v Italy game had a different version which also included the RWC logo and green shading behind the score.

Obviously there must be ONE feed supplying pictures to the whole of the world and they must come with the graphics that we are seeing on ITV and S4C. Theres not a lot they can add to these graphics to make them any better - but they are plain and crisp.
ITV are using the ITV Sport logo to obliterate the duration clock because in highlights they tend not to use a clock! As seen in the Premiership and other sports highlight programmes.
Also to note ITV1Wales had their own regional programme this morning covering the Wales v Canada match and was broadcast from a very similar looking studio to the ITV1(England) studio.
ITV1Wales has Scott Quinnel and he was extremely funny and a great guest whereas ITV1(england) had Ieuan Evan as guest in the studio covering the Wales match.

ITV must be doing their own graphics then, because all the graphics done by Seven Network have the IRB logo on them.

It's the F1 studio - look carefully and you can see a Japanese flag. Don't know where the RWC coverage is coming from. If it's Studio 8 then it'll clash with This Morning. Although I did notice ITV2 had a smaller studio they used yesterday wheile ITV1 were using the main studio, so maybe they'll use that studio when This Morning is on (assuming RWC is in Studio 8, which it may not be for all I know).

Looking at the GMTV webcam, it looks like there's a studio set up. But is it the rugby, F1 or Football studio?

Actually if you look now you won't see a Japanese flag - just a piano. Don't ask me what that's all about!

Well if you look at your local tv listings guide there are no matches on ITV1 now until friday. Most are shown on ITV2!
So it looks like weekends only for the Rugby!

If you look at the itv rugby website you'll see all the TV listing times for the whole of the first round and much of the subsequent rounds as well.

But your list only goes up to Oct25/26. The list of the website provides kick off times and channels for all games in round 1 and many of the later games. Admittedly the site doesn't include the programme start times, just the ko time and channel.
