Probably a southern hemisphere thing. They do insist on calling fly-halves "five-eighths" or some similar rubbish.
They're "out-halves" in Ireland, oddly enough!
Disappointing to see UTV did nothing for the Rugby World Cup when STV and ITV Wales did. Even though the latter is owned by ITV plc. Although there is no shortage of Irish broadcasters covering the tournament anyway, whereas in Scotland and Wales STV and ITV Wales are the only domestic broadcasters with the rights.

On the subject of the host broadcaster graphics BTW, I meant to ask: since when did the term for the bench become "Reserves"? It was "Replacements" up till recently though more recently seems to have become "Substitutes".
