Hopefully they wont have changed it by the time people read this basically its a story about quins naming chad randell as captain, even the the Picture is of clint Greensheilds.

wrong country
wrong club
wrong person
wrong position

Can you imagine if they did that with a football story?

Beeb must have changed it.
Link shows picture similar to Randall on Harlequins web site.
People can make mistakes, but League takes hammering more than most.

You can't expect too much when BBC have commentators like Ray French and Dave Wood making up players names during games.

I never did find out who Richie Wellens was?

Haha Richie Wellens,I think he is a football player for Leicester. BBC make mistakes a lot but it could be worse,It could be ITV.

Mistaken identity on Sky comes to mind too, when Feka took the ball forward against Stains it was "Fausavalou making a barnstorming run" according to Stevo.
I guess even the best make mistakes ha ha.

I remember listening to Hull FC v Wigan on the radio a few years ago, the commentator said Paul Prescott had score an interception length of the field try...didn't believe that for a second, turns out it was Liam Colbon.
