I guess at least C4 ending coverage should mean an end of clocks counting down. Must say after years of a few broadcasters/events doing it I'm yet to be convinced the scorebar at the bottom is an improvement for rugby or football.
I’m reminded of ESPN UK’s short lived PRL coverage which not only brought us a fairly unique implementation of a bottom scorebar, it was also the only rugby union scorebar I ever saw count down, and I was glad that never caught on. Counting down makes more sense in league though, where the different rules mean the game will typically come to an end fairly quickly after the clock goes red, whereas in union it can be a couple of minutes depending on the situation (particular if the team in possession need another score as opposed to being happy to cut and run).
