Of course, the BBC have the advantage of having the world feed 'designed around' their graphics style last year. It surely can't be a coincidence that the world feed graphics are in the same font/broad style...
Very surprised that ITV sent their own commentators to their non-live matches. Thanks for pointing that out.
Have to say the scorebar looks better with the BBC logo than the plain, stacked ITV logo.

They are using it for half time analysis.
RTE ran a split screen ad for Ulster Bank just before kickoff, a la the betting ads on BT's Premier League coverage. First time I've seen that done by an Irish station.
RTE really missing McGuirk and Hook IMO.

I think it was their own commentary.
RTÉ seems to have abandoned their box studio and are presenting completely from pitch side.

RTE using the BBC tactic of presenting pitch side to kick off then reverting to the studio for the rest. The graphic package now at least gives consistency across all broadcasters, for example a few years ago they had a mixture of BBC / RTE / French TV / Italian TV graphics.

Can't agree with you on Hook and McGurk, they became parodies of themselves in recent years especially McGurk in my opinion and Ryle Nugent is really annoying so i've switched to ITV for match commentary but like O'Gara, Horgan and O'Shea

For their promo logos promoting the Six Nations they should use this logo. Albeit with different colours for each team
ITV using same graphics as BBC/RTE therefore world feed with ITV Sport beside the score. Like all broadcasters they use their own graphics for studio discussions etc. and to name commentators.

Could I see an example?
They are using the break bumpers with that logo.
Interesting the break bumpers in and out of the breaks are quite simple with just the RBS 6 Nations logo, so look more like a sponsor than programme bumper.

As the first week has finished here is BBC & ITV plans for next weekend coverage
6 Nations Championship Week 2
Saturday 13th February 2016 – Live on BBC Sport
France v Ireland
Presenter: Gabby Logan
With: Thomas Castaignede, Keith Wood & Paul O’Connell
Commentators: Eddie Butler & Brian Moore
Wales v Scotland
Presenter: John Inverdale
With: Jeremy Guscott, Martyn Williams & Andy Nicol
Commentators: Andrew Cotter, Jonathan Davies & Chris Paterson
Sunday 14th February 2016 – Live on ITV Sport
Italy v England
Presenter: Mark Pougatch
With: Jonny Wilkinson, Sir Clive Woodward & Maggie Alphonsi
Commentators: Nick Mullins, Ben Kay & David Flatman
Pitchside: Martin Bayfield, Ugo Monye & Marco Bortolami
Seems now that Philip Matthews is no longer a part of BBC Sport coverage with former Ireland captain Paul O'Connell taking his place and wouldn't be surprised to see Keith Wood join the commentary which he has done on Irish Radio in the past. Meanwhile good to see the excellent David Flatman is involved in the co-commentary for ITV Sport but seems to be an awful lot of pundits involved for an Italy v England match.

Is there a game on ITV in three weeks time on a Friday night?
