How stupid is that. They get to have two press days, but the fans have to wait before they book any flights

They actually announced Rounds 3 and 4 for the main comp at 10.48 , but then only published the fixture list for Round 4 but not Round 3.
So don't be surprised if the Challenge Cup fixtures pop up over the weekend.
EDIT: OK, round 3 is there now, obviously they read the forum and sorted it out

as for the TV coverage I read somewhere that the TV Deal will only be covering 19 matches from the Challenge cup, not sure where Sky\BT fits into this but I would say we'll be lucky to get even highlights of any of our games this year. More reason to travel away to a couple of the games

Last nights cover was 'in association with' Life Style, so hopefully others will be covered too

Yup, GBFM will be covering the European matches, both home and away. They will be at Ospreys away match in the League as well. Life Style Sports are sponsoring the commentaries.

Anyone else see the IRFU website (Challenge cup fixtures)
www.irishrugby.ie/european/fixtures_europe.php
Someone must be taking the piss. This shows our round 3 - 6 games all being played on Thur nights.
IRFU, have we not had enough of the picking on the Westerners

Well thankfully that's not the case, but it could be for round 6. And if it is to be honest there's not a whole lot the IRFU will be able to do about it. I can handle a single round on a Thursday.

La Rochelle's home game against Exeter is on a Thursday, so they will probably spare both of them another one in Round 5/6, which would let us off the hook. No guarantees though.
