How come Ch 4 was showing Munster Heinekin match live today? It is listed as BT only.

EPCR signed new TV rights deals beginning this season and for the next four year years. BT Sport will have UK and Ireland rights to all games in the competition. Channel 4 will have the (non exclusive) rights to one game in each week in the group stages and one game in each knockout round, it is (at least for the first five group stage weeks) always one of the Saturday 1:00pm fixtures. VM One has (non exclusive) rights to show the same games as Channel 4.

Pity that VM One cannot show highlights of any other matches not involving Irish teams apart from the Saturday match they have shown live. It mustn't be in their contract.
