I suspect it's the annual commitment of the Six Nations keeping him on their books that has seen Mark Pougatch host 5 tournaments in a row. I take it Hugh Woozencroft isn't involved in the football.
Will be interesting to see who fronts the football league games - I suspect Hugh will do most of them but Mark come in for the semi finals and final of the League Cup. The final though does sometimes clash with the Six Nations, though I think they often schedule France v Italy that day when it does, which under the current terms ITV would show. If they clash hopefully they can do a deal with the BBC to take that match rather than shunt it to ITV4.
