Benetton vs Munster, Fri 12th April 7pm, Eir Sport

thomond2006 · 11-04-2019 11:53am #1

Benetton Rugby:
15 Jayden Hayward, 14 Ratuva Tavuyara, 13 Tommaso Benvenuti, 12 Marco Zanon, 11 Monty Ioane, 10 Tommaso Allan (C), 9 Dewaldt Duvenage,
8 Toa Halafihi, 7 Abraham Steyn, 6 Sebastian Negri, 5 Federico Ruzza, 4 Irné Herbst, 3 Marco Riccioni, 2 Luca Bigi, 1 Nicola Quaglio.

Substitutes: 16 Hame Faiva, 17 Cherif Traore, 18 Simone Ferrari, 19 Marco Lazzaroni, 20 Giovanni Pettinelli, 21 Tito Tebaldi, 22 Antonio Rizzi, 23 Tommaso Iannone

Munster:
Mike Haley; Darren Sweetnam, Sammy Arnold, Dan Goggin, Shane Daly; JJ Hanrahan, Alby Mathewson;
Jeremy Loughman, Rhys Marshall, Stephen Archer; Fineen Wycherley, Billy Holland (C); Jack O’Donoghue, Chris Cloete, Gavin Coombes.

Replacements: Kevin O’Byrne, Liam O’Connor, Ciaran Parker, Darren O’Shea, Dave O’Callaghan, Neil Cronin, Bill Johnston, Alex McHenry.

A mostly second string lineup, with 11 changes from the win over Cardiff, travels to an in-form Benetton side and will be up against it. They trail Glasgow by three points in Conference A and will also hope that Leinster can do them a favour on Saturday by defeating the Scottish side. Academy centre Alex McHenry is named on the bench for his debut appearance. Dave O'Callaghan could make his final appearance for Munster.

Still a strong enough side...you'd expect approx 11 of those to make a Heineken cup match day 23

ClanofLams · 11-04-2019 12:01pm

Can’t see that team being strong enough to win over there. Leinster might do Munster a favour but good opportunity for Glasgow to effectively wrap up conference this weekend now. Even if they gained a point on Munster over the two games, that would probably be enough.

is match on 7 or 8? , and I don't think eir are showing it

Zzippy · 11-04-2019 1:20pm

Tavuyara to beat 73 defenders and score the winning try

Podge_irl · 11-04-2019 1:48pm

Treviso win this and they are basically in the playoffs with a home game against Zebre coming up. Can't see them slipping up against that Munster team.

It's in channel 429 on Sky, think it's called Free Tv at 7pm

Munster Website saying 7pm Irish time on Eir Sport and Free Sports

Former Former · 11-04-2019 4:50pm

7pm Irish time

It's on Freesports if you have a satellite dish. Otherwise the Eir Sport app or Eir Sport facebook and Twitter pages are carrying it. It is not on the regular Eir Sports channels

Any idea who commentates on Free Sports?.. never actually watched anything on it

icdg · 12-04-2019 7:15am

They are part of Premier Sports and use the same commentators - in fact it will likely be the normal eir Sport crew.

Just for anyone that might miss the live coverage of Benetton v Munster, TG4 are playing highlights tonight at 10:55PM, which will also include highlights of Edinburgh v Ulster.
Also, Eir Sport 2 are showing deferred coverage of the full match at 10PM tonight, and Eir Sport 1 are repeating the full match at 00:30AM Sat morning, and again at 12:15PM on Saturday afternoon.

Sorry I'm not able to edit the thread title to 7pm. If a mod could do it that would be great.

thomond2006 · 12-04-2019 2:24pm

Conditions look good for tonight, temperature 12-14c.

I like the way they have staggered the match start times this evening, 6:30 kick off is going to be problematic for supporters in the Kings game but the Munster / Ulster games only partially overlapping is ideal.

Partially overlapping? The kick offs are only 35mins apart.

Exactly, partial. You get 35 mins of the warm-up game before switching over to the main event...

And half time of both matches is also overlapping - so more like 50 minutes.

So there's a facebook page streaming this?

thomond2006 · 12-04-2019 6:57pm

Not watching live. Hopefully we can beat the odds!

Big crowd in Treviso, good to see.

12-04-2019 7:02pm

Munster going to have to work here, Italians will be up for this.

KevinK · 12-04-2019 7:02pm

Found the free sports channel on sky, but it’s saying unavailable! Pity because it was working earlier. Working for anyone else?

Soft penalty from Whitehouse there and munster score off the back of it. Id be annoyed if i was Italian

Tigerandahalf · 12-04-2019 7:15pm

This is listed on the extra channel on the app but not streaming it. Eir sports are doing themselves no favours.
