ITV's Premiership Rugby coverage this afternoon is using the graphics that were seen during the RWC tudio segments for their surounding presentation, whilst using the TNT Sports graphics for the actual match. Last week's highlights show at least used the ITV football graphics as last season, with the world feed using a mixture of the old BT Sport graphics and the new TNT Sports graphics (occasionaly, like below, both appear at once). So, across ITV's Premiership Rugby coverage there is four different graphic packages being used...
There was also a good three or four minutes of complete silence (on ITV X at least) during the build-up. Presenter Hugh Woozencroft apologised after the next break.

Just the commentary team pre- and post-match and at half-time on the ITV X exclusive match last week.

That is a good shout. Being biased, I'd rather they (or BBC Wales) would broadcast the Newport match exclusively if they had to show a match next round, but the Wrexham match probably makes more sense financially etc.

Was is just match coverage of the ITVX game in the last round or did they have presentation on site too?
