Just about wrapped up in time for the highlights on BBC Wales.

The Sgorio / Rondo team do a fine job as host broadcasters - and after all the hell and high water of the past year under the former regime of Doyle / Williams, I hope S4C are rewarded with bumper ratings.
Alas, for post-mortem news coverage tomorrow, I suspect we'll be slipping back into a debate about Rob Page's future but I digress.
The S4C coverage is a credit to the organisation, and deservedly got praise last night from non-regular watchers. Joe Allen a great addition to the team this week too. Do we know if S4C will be host broadcaster for the next campaign? I know they are subletting from Premier this time, but I think S4C/BBC Cymru Wales often produce the matches they show live from the URC, and I wouldn't be surprised if Premier would do likewise with the football (especially with their lesser effort for the Wales games).
To the post mortem, I don't think the football will require the coach to have a live grilling from Lauren Jenkins like what happened with the rugby on Scrum V 10 days ago.
Whilst not seen as widely due to the English FTA availability, S4C's international rugby has also been excellent this season, with Sarra Elgan deservedly nominated in the overall Presenter category at the RTS Cymru awards for the Rugby World Cup.
