Amazingly enough they’ve put together quite a bit of the previous Sky Sports rugby (and Lions) team even though they are basically out of rugby union now. Aside from Miles Harrison (get well soon) the notable absence is his long time commentary partner Stuart Barnes. Doesn’t seem to indicate who is replacing him though. Not sure of how well a pop channel works given that nearly all the matches (two midweek games aside) are on Saturdays.
I would say Will Greenwood might be commentating & maybe Warburton if they want a 3 man team, It says in the press release Elgan will be in South Africa pitchside with Habana and Quinnell is doing a roving reporter role
