As Spark's main caller, Scotty Stevenson, made his introduction, fans also heard a Welsh voice over the top of him, with the host nation's commentary also being broadcast at the same time. Earlier, there had been problems during the national anthem, with sound cutting out during the Welsh anthem, while talking could be heard in the background as well. Spark were inundated with complaints on social media, as rugby fans also saw their pictures cut out or buffer, with hundreds of customers voicing their displeasure at tonight's service.
