BBC's live Super League coverage using the Sky graphics during the match, so it looks they are the de facto world feed.
None of the usual BBC co-commentators (Jonathan Davies, John Kear, Brian Novle) with Robbie Hunter-Paul the only voice alongside Matt Newsum.
Some other notes from the rugby league coverage that I have seen others note.
Yesterday's clashing matches had score updates from the other games. I personally don't mind when broadcasts do this, but some who wanted to watch the others spoiler-free found it annoying. The secondary matches were commentary only, but the commentators popped up voicing over analysis at half-time and also were back at full time, even interviewing players via headsets in the 10-15 minutes they had after the final whistle.
Another new addition is a different look at Video Referee decisions, with multiple angles shown at the same time. I have to agree with all that I have seen that this is very hard to follow and look at. Two angle might be okay but that is way too many. On a slightly related note, I'm not sure why during video reviews in most sports the actual replays are actually shrunk to split screen the players/video room/referee. Only one of those things are important and needs to be shown in the best detail.
