Another point on rugby graphics...
I had mild amusment earlier seeing that BT Sport still receive French langauge graphics on Champions Cup matches in France. Of course this is only minor differences like 3E rather than 3T on the try indicator (and French TV use a gold background for the sin bin clock rather than a yellow background), but not often that a default graphic package is not English these days.
On a similar note it was a bit of surprise that when S4C covered a match in France in December they appeared to have a clean feed with their own graphics in Welsh throughout the game, something I can't ever remembering seeing on the English language feed in any iteration of the competition. It also looked they had a clean feed on Friday night from Leicester.
Returning to the above on the introduction of new graphics, I can't help but remember that the Champions Cup had the most unorganised of refreshes in 2018, when they introduced the new graphics in round 3 of the pool stage, a month after the competition began with a updated logo and new broadcast rights cycle...
