Player mic to be used in Bristol v Bath game
Written by I Dig SportsA player microphone will be used for the first time in the Premiership when Bristol play Bath on Saturday.
A Bristol player will wear the microphone during the match, with audio broadcast during breaks in play, at half-time and post-match.
"Viewers will be able to get unique insight into the physicality of the sport as well as hear about the high-pressure decision making and communication that occurs on the field of play in elite rugby," Premiership Rugby said.
A three-person team will monitor the feed throughout the match, which is being broadcast on TNT Sports.
Referee Luke Pearce will also wear a camera during Gloucester's match with Sale on Sunday.
The camera will be also worn during the pre-game warm-up by a player from either side.
