[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 302546"] true but even cricket coverage has changed but unlike rugby it hasn't been to the detriment of the quality of coverage. BBC were still using cameras from only 1 end well into the 80s, before they started doing what Channel Nine were doing in Australia. I agree that Channel 4's coverage was fantastic, pioneering Hawke Eye, Snicko and Ultra Motion, but again the tried and tested remained the same while these new innovations have merely complemented the service. This may just seem that I'm going off on a tangent but it is related to the rugby as BBC and RTÉ have tried to change their basic coverage of the game. Zooming in on rucks, mauls and scrums during play is infuriating as you have no chance of seeing how the play could develop and as we saw on Saturday it missed the start of Williams break down the blindside. There's plenty of stops in play for them to use their gadgets to show interesting replays, even at half time and after the match but not during the game itself. [/QUOTE]
