i am on 10e tonight watching England v Wales i think its the world feed, the english commentators seem to be different from the ITV one, having said that I havent seen the world feed yet but many unilaterals instead, ITV Sport's feeds are encrypted sadly.

Edit; Its Fox Sports Australia's feed.

The World Feed uses the same commentary team as ITV but not for the same matches.

Bloody fantatic result tonight though - and for once ITV couldn't get off the air quick enough! Sadly in this corner of North Wales I'm in Granadaland but think ITV did a fair enough job at keeping it balanced.

It was really nice to see ITV Cymru Wales having dedicated coverage live from Cardiff. The adapted set is great and it was nice to see something live from Cardiff in primetime on ITV.

Had the teatime ITV Wales News actually gone ahead, how would they have accommodated it? Do they have an alternative studio/camera position, or would they have just turned around the studio in the 15 mins while the national news was on?

I guess they'd have used the side screens. Next weekend it's Scotland v South Africa then England v Australia so if you work on the Saturday local news you probably might as well not bother turning up. Thursday looks unlikely too as far as regional news is concerned, but at least unlike the weekend it's not the only bulletin of the day.

The set looks great but just a shame that if you can't watch it on TV you can't see it at all. Just seen a little snippet of Eddie Butler's commentary and if I'd had the option I'd have definately watched the ITV Wales coverage last night.

Thats not ITV2's current strategy though? ITV4 yes, ITV2 no.
