The South Africa v. Wales match at Twickenham is a little bizarre.
S4C are using graphics in the Qatar Airways maroon, as is the world feed, but they are different. The English world feed graphics is the same as saw in the NZ v. SA fixture last year. S4C's are different, using what looks like the WRU's official typeface so possibly something from them.
Sky Sports is the most odd. They took the SuperSport South African build-up in full. Whilst I certainly welcome them showing the Southern hemisphere studio coverage (something they didn't do this morning on the Super Rugby for example), it seems a little odd to do for a test involving a home nation. SuperSport do have a prescence onsite, but took pre-match interviews from Martin Gillingham, who is now commentating for the world feed airing on Sky, alongside Jamie Roberts.
All just quite strange.
