Have contacted BBC NI over confusion re red button match at 7.00pm (Freeview EPG says Ospeys vs Ulster!) and they've confirmed that it is Ospreys vs Dragons and not Edinburgh vs Ulster. So it looks like we're relying on internet for coverage.

I am a dummy on the internet - how do you find this? is it bbc ni sport?

thanks

This is all i could find. Sometimes red button in NI is different to rest of uk. Worst case the website should have a link to the stream nearer the time.

Folks on UAFC are more sure that it is on red button, as it was confirmed at lunchtime there on the BBC. The Ospreys v Dragons game is on BBC2W and usually they would have an alternative red button commentary. It's quite possible that BBCNI have negotiated to get the Ulster game shown on the red button instead, but that this hasn't filtered around the whole office yet...

From Ulster Facebook..

Just to confirm - tonight's game against Edinburgh is on! 1930 kick off. On BBC red button and BBC Sport NI website. #SUFTUM!

Good news. Henderson expected to be fit for QF, and may make an appearance in the Leinster game next week

From the BelTel

Less than 24 hours after coach Mark Anscombe admitted his concern that the 6ft 6in lock/back row forward could be out for the rest of the season, tests on the player's left foot ligament injury confirmed a sprain rather than a tear.

That means Henderson – who already has five Ireland caps despite having just turned 21 last month – should be available for Ulster's Heineken Cup quarter-final with Saracens at Twickenham on April 6.

An Ulster Rugby statement, issued on Wednesday night, read: "Following a scan in Dublin on Sunday, he underwent an x-ray in Belfast yesterday. There it was confirmed that he has suffered soft-tissue damage."

Currently the ligament is inflamed, hence Henderson's discomfort. But that can be treated and with nothing more serious than soft tissue damage, Ulster anticipate a full recovery ahead of that crucial European clash, now little over two weeks away.

He may even get some game time against Leinster at the RDS on Easter Saturday evening.

Red button is not regionalised but is a national service (evidence for this is red button schedule page on BBC website - no regional variations) so if this game is on red button it is the same for all Freeview/Sky/Freesat users throughout the UK.

Looks like I'm going to miss then then, feckin BBCNI not having this on TV. :mad:

Not sure TBH. Guess we'll find out at half 7 Red button is easier than stream for me so I'm hoping for that.

On red button now (channel 301), can hear noise from the stadium, starting in 5 mins.

Sinbad_NI · 22-03-2013 8:27pm

On BBC 2 NI red button for those using sky.

ScissorPaperRock · 22-03-2013 8:27pm

Just realised Tuohy is playing 6, when was the last time that happened (as in last time he was at 6, not last time he played)? 0-0 11 mins in for anyone not able to watch.

MolBee · 22-03-2013 8:46pm

Ulster veeeery rusty. Wayward passes and dropped balls everywhere.

ScissorPaperRock · 22-03-2013 8:47pm

Ulster making a lot of errors. They were lucky to get away with the chargedown of Payne's attempt at a clearance kick at the try line

Nearly shat a brick with Payne's chargedown...

MolBee · 22-03-2013 8:49pm

3-0 to Embra

ScissorPaperRock · 22-03-2013 8:56pm

Payne's definitely a bit rusty.

MolBee · 22-03-2013 8:56pm

Marshall's having a bit of a stinker.

shuffol · 22-03-2013 8:58pm

That flippin music during the stoppages:(

Hagz · 22-03-2013 8:59pm

And this player who was ignored for the 6 nations gets the ball, beats one man, and passes to another player who was ignored by Declan Kidney. Ball well secured by the player who finally got his first cap for Ireland after having to wait an age.

Count yourself lucky, Ulster have been absolutely awful. 3-0 after 28mins.

errlloyd · 22-03-2013 9:04pm

McNeillys having a fine night..."And some rain is after coming from somewhere", "Edinburgh playing like a side competing for a playoff place rather than a side fighting for survival"

Seems like the players aren't the only ones that are a little rusty.

awec · 22-03-2013 9:08pm

Oh ffs. Come on Ulster!
