A few questions about Mark Pougatch involvement in ITV 6 Nations coverage may have been answered, tomorrow ITV4 are showing The Big Fight Live presented by Mark Pougatch as part of their new boxing portfolio ahead of the launch of ITV Box Office and BT announced yesterday Matt Smith is presenting BT Sport Score tomorrow in his absence and I actually predicted this last Saturday

I think it's more likely that Pougatch will probably take time off BT Sport Score and was probably agreed with BT when he signed up to host the show and could easily see someone like Matt Smith hosting in his absence.

He is, however, down to present Big Bash League on Channel 5 in the morning. Busy man!

It's the last year (for the time being at any rate) that RTE will have the Six Nations, before TV3 takes over for 2018. Conor O'Shea is out for obvious reasons, Ronan O'Gara and Shane Horgan in the main panel with Brent Pope the only survivor of the classic line-up.

Not a fan of adding the try count to the scorebar. Half the fun of tuning in late is trying to work out how the points have got to where they have.

Not a fan of the graphics, full stop.

Too big, and looks like a mock of the BBC Sport graphics knocked up in 3 minutes on PowerPoint.

ITV just announced they've secured the World Cup rights for 2019 and 2023, plus the free to air rights for the Womens World Cup and Under 20s World Cup.

When they say free to air rights, will that be the whole of the womens world cup, or just selected matches?
