Suspect they'll at least make it to Paris for any Home Nations fixtures.You’d imagine they’d have a studio in Paris for the World Cup. Although they might be at the ground for all home nations games so might not bother with an expensive set up for other games. Usually they’d use the football studio of course for the Six Nations. But apart from La Liga which comes from a more basic set than the big games, they don’t have anything that would acquire them to be studio based on terms of football that I can think of.
Seems a lot of effort for just the odd Six Nations fixture they're not in the stadium so wouldn't be surprised to see it used for the group stages at least in the Rugby World Cup.
I wonder which studio they’re using, the chairs look the same as the ones BBC Sport secondary studio uses and they’re pretty close together which suggests the space is also quite small. So wouldn’t be surprised if they’re using that. Although always assumed the secondary studio wasn’t one that was hired out and actually in the BBC Sport building.
In theory they could use ITN as well.
Generally speaking for the Rugby World Cup they do the group games (including home nations) from the UK and the knock out games on location. I don't think really there is much benefit to them being in a studio in Paris compared to being in a studio in the south of England. If they do have a presentation team out in France for the home nations matches in the group stage they might as well be at the stadia.
