Former England Captains Martin Johnson and Lawrence Dallaglio have joined the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ television rugby line-up for the 2005 RBS Six Nations.

Μύ

They will join former Irish Captain Keith Wood and former Scottish Captain Andy Nicol, who have joined the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for the next two seasons.

Μύ

All are former British Lions.

Μύ

They will be working with Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's regular analysts Jonathan Davies and Jeremy Guscott, and presenters Steve Rider, John Inverdale and Jill Douglas.

Μύ

Martin Johnson will be in the studio for all England's home games against France and Scotland, whilst Lawrence Dallaglio will be either in the studio or giving his view from pitchside.

Μύ

Following his success at co-commentary on highlights during the autumn Internationals, Will Carling will debut as a live co-commentator in the box at Murrayfield.

Μύ

Former All Black Captain Sean Fitzpatrick joins the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ again for this year's Six Nations.

Μύ

Both Sean and Will will also offer their insight from pitchside.

Μύ

The commentary team receives a boost with the news that Andrew Cotter will bring a Scottish voice to the microphone for TV viewers.

Μύ

Andrew has commentated on television rugby during the autumn Internationals, and before that he commentated for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Five Live. He is also a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News 24 sports reporter.

Μύ

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ will broadcast all games exclusively live on television.

Μύ

All games will also be fully interactive, and there will be comprehensive coverage of the Championship on Five Live and bbc.co.uk/sport, which will show highlights.

Μύ

Viewers will also be able to see play from angles that cannot be captured by conventional cameras thanks to Piero Β– a new technology system created by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Broadcast.

Μύ

Rugby Special returns to screens on Sunday 6 February at 11.40pm on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TWO, and will play in this slot until the end of the season.

Μύ

The show takes the same format as last year and goes on the road to clubs such as London Irish, Barnes, Leicester and Bath.

Μύ

It will be presented by John Inverdale and guests will include regulars on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ rugby team and special guests on a weekly basis.

Μύ

Sir Clive Woodward and Jonathan Davies are guests on the first show.

Μύ

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE viewers in the West, South West and West Midlands will also be able to see the Gloucester v Bristol Powergen Cup game live this Saturday (22 January) in a special opt-out of the main Grandstand programme.

Μύ

Network television will show the Northampton v Leeds game.

Μύ

This is the first time an English region has ever offered a different game in this way.

Μύ

Viewers in other regions will still be able to view the Gloucester v Bristol game if they have digital satellite television, as they can tune in and receive the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ ONE feed from other areas.
