Broadcaster will also have Spidercam in use at the Allianz Stadium
TNT Sports has revealed its broadcast plans for the Prem Rugby Final, which takes place 20 June.
It has added a number of new innovations for the fixture, which sees Northampton Saints take on Exeter Chiefs at the Allianz Stadium in the showpiece event. Live coverage will begin at 13:30 on TNT Sports and HBO Max, with the game itself kicking off at 15:00.
Among the additions is Batcam’s BabyBaT drone camera to provide pre-match aerial shots of the stadium, while Spidercam shots will combine with augmented reality to overlay live graphics on screen.
Another first for the broadcaster will be players miced up for the post-match celebrations, taking fans inside the trophy lift and parade following the rugby.
Viewers watching on HBO Max will be able to cycle between key match moments in the timeline, and will be able to watch in watch in 1080p Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.
In a first for the Prem Rugby Final, David Flatman will be pitchside to provide live in-game punditry alongside the analysis from commentators Nick Mullins, Ben Kay and Austin Healey.
Craig Doyle will front the presentation, with punditry from Sam Warburton, Brian O’Driscoll, Danny Care, Emily Scarratt, David Flatman, Ugo Monye, Kay and Healey.
As well as the rugby, the broadcast will welcome special guest and England legend Lewis Moody when he arrives at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham after completing the Lewis Moody XV Cycle Challenge – an ambitious 500-mile charity ride bringing together some of the biggest names in rugby to raise vital funds and awareness for motor neurone disease (MND) and the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
