    Hi,

    I know Sky have the rights to the live games but are RTE not even showing a highlights show anymore? I looked on the RTE player for one but I can't see any....?

    I don't think that the RTE rights previously had extended to the RTE player anyway.

    If you have access to ITV4, they have an hour long highlights show tonight at 7pm, although I wouldn't expect the Irish provinces to get a huge amount of coverage. And the show is presented by Craig Doyle. :(

    Craig Doyle was in thomond saturday and as northampton are one of the strongest english sides you would expect a good bit of coverage on their game, there prob will be decent amount of coverage of connachts game as they played quins nut i doubt there will be much coverage of leinster/ulster

    Personally I think the 3 hour coverage of TG4 is a tad long. Saturday's programme also was a bit lopsided in terms of matches e.g. IIRC the whole of Munster vs Northampton was shown and only a few minutes of Ulster vs Clermont.
