due to regional production quotas, it's gone to a studio facility outside the M25.

The above article mentions that the edit is being undertaken at The Maidstone Studios, studio at the same place?

Similar to NZ in 2011 then they will move to stadium presentation for the knockout games.

Daybreak when it was cut short.

I think it is mandated now anyone covering the tournament uses World in Union as their theme.

Who has the Irish rights this time?


Eir have them, It's basically the only Drawing point to Eir Sports. RTE will show 14 matches live, That includes all Ireland Games and all knockout stage games... plus extended highlights every night.

Any Rugby fans that really want to watch the other matches can Watch on ITV anyway... about 65% of houses can still get it, the only place to lose out would be Virgin Media Cable homes mostly in Dublin.


That won't happen this time because Eir Sports is coming back for Virgin Media Ireland Customers with the new Eir Sports pack.

Also what is happening with Ryle Nugent for the RWC in Japan. Will he be with Eir Sport as commentator?

Just a thought..
Is this the first major sporting event/tournament broadcast by ITV, that won't have touched any of the lines or wires in Kent House since it was first opened back in 1972?

I only saw that news the day after I posted. Shocked It's good for Virgin Media as there would have been complaints.

Erm... Last year's football World Cup?
UKnews, DeMarkay and Brekkie gave kudos

Fair point - well remembered Embarassed
As it was all studio location presentation for that - I'm guessing all the feeds were sent via ITV's MCR at the IBC, straight to Chiswick?

RTÉ had put out a teaser trailer for the Rugby World Cup on RTÉ One this evening. The RTÉ Sport logo came up at the start & the end of the trailer. It looked really good. It showed a fair bit of the sights & scenes of Japan including some footage from older Rugby matches with some statements about the Irish Rugby team in-between. I have yet to find a copy of it on Youtube so I can share it here.

This is how RTE is preparing for the Rugby World Cup.
