It sounds utter shambles and the backlash will surely only grow in New Zealand.

That is a thoroughly embarrassing level of service and shameful given the retail price of the exclusive coverage.

subscription price only jumped to $80 this week was 20 or 30$ cheaper before that. On 1 News the night of launch of RWC spark sport were unavailable for comment so it shows they weren’t fully confident in the service they were about to offer.

RTÉ have lost their commentary seconds into Ireland v Scotland and changed to world feed.

WHAT on earth is ITV doing with the start times of these programmes????? there all running 5 mins early or 5 mins later? Even the 6am is on early.

It's called being live, though as all the kick-off times are 15/45 mins past you'd think with perhaps the exception of leading up to a home nations game they'd bill the switch from one match on the hour or half hour, rather than half an hour before kick-off just as the previous game is ending.

"Ireland are dominating" on the break bumper for ITV. I'm sure Border Scotland viewers will appreciate that.

They got Hugh Cahill back about ten minutes in but I suspect the damage was done at that stage.

Surly there would know when the first programme was going to start?

Was billed for 5.45am

The sin bin graphic seems an afterthought considering a 10 min countdown is now common place in other coverage.

Typical tv guides. Mind you on Friday it was 10.21

ITV having all sorts of audio problems this morning. Lawrence Dallaglio and Johnny Wilkinson's lav mics don't seem to be on.

It's a very dark studio that RTÉ are using but I reckon it's to cover the seams between the studio and the AR elements which do look really well to be honest.
