The Indo have it wrong. TG4 will be showing highlights at 23:05 tonight.

Dunno what McKeon at 7 is like I know he has played there once or twice this season but can't be worse than Muldoon last week. I said it already on this forum but I think the only position where Muldoon will get a look in next year is 7 especially if Kearney and Brown continue to improve. I imagine McKeon is also an option at 6 when George is fit and we have next years first choice second row out. Actually the pack could be quite exciting next year.

TV COVERAGE - The match will be broadcast recorded on Sportitalia 2 at 23 italian time (channel 61 of the DTT, channel 226 of Sky) with live commentary by Daniele Piervincenzi and Tommaso Visentin.

LIVE COVERAGE - The match will be broadcast live on Radio VenetoUno (FM 97,5), and a live text commentary will be available on Benetton Rugby's Twitter Official Page.

Not much hope of catching the game live, delayed TV coverage and live Italian Radio..

Facebook update only by the look of it, unless Rabo post video updates on their Youtube channel.....

Just reading the Indo preview of tonights game and at the bottom they said the game would be live on TG4, which although I wouldn't be able to watch, would at least give me a chance of finding a stream. So went to TG4 site and checked their listing and it turns out they are not showing the game live but will have an hour's worth of highlights starting from 23.05 tonight.

Sods law it won't be available to those of us outside the Island but thought it was worth putting up here regardless.

Thought Minto and Zanni were outstanding for the Azzurri in the 6N's and i think if we can keep them quiet we have a chance of getting something substantial out of this game.

Interesting to note from the IT's preview:

"Treviso coach Franco Smith has made wholesale changes the most interesting of which sees him give a debut to rising star and Italian under-20 centre Michele Campagnaro."

Hopefully Danie and Brian can keep him under wraps but would be keen to see how the young lad gets on against us.

If TG4 are getting highlights RaboPro12 Youtube account might be getting video updates for tries..

Worth keeping an eye out..

Completely missed that it was on, thanks IMF.

The Rabo seem to have gotten their finger out about online coverage, so there should be highlights on their youtube channel in game, or at latest by tomorrow morning.

Think your overreacting slightly seen as a year ago he was the Clan young player of the year and played 21/22 games last year. It wasn't a great year for Tiernan but certainly not one to start question whether he should be here. Oh well how people quickly forget in the space of a year.

He was getting games because of a lack of options and probably a little bit of local bias from Eric (understandable) but rarely delivered outside the interpro's. I don't question that he has talent, but he has and is not delivering on it in any consistent way for us and next year we are going to have a new coach who may not favour the local guy, and other options looking for his jersey...

No he was getting games because he was doing the business for Wegians and was one of the Ireland U20's best players. Nothing to do with local bias, he got in on his talent. He stepped into Carr's big boots and filled them pretty well for a guy in his first full professional season. 5 tries in the league and 2 in a tough Heineken Cup group wasn't a bad return either. He delivered plenty outside the interpros. From having a look at our fixtures last year and off the top of my head he was delivering very well against Scarlets (H), Harlequins (A), Gloucester (A) and Cardiff (H). Then after looking at his stats he was the only back to stand out in the games versus Scarlets (A), Ospreys (A), Aironi (A). Not bad for a rookie.

Fair enough if you don't think he has been consistent this year, but I thought he was pretty good around the turn of the year and was working very hard for the team the thing a couple people felt he was missing. He put in two very good performances back to back against Quins and Aironi. The Aironi game he was so good defensively making a couple turnovers and fielding well. He was good against Biarritz at home too but Vainikolo stole the show that night.

I completely agree that if he isn't putting the performances or the work in he won't get his shirt especially with the strong resources we now have in the position. Pat Lam won't suffer fools, but neither does Eric from a story I heard last week about one local lad who got a shot but made a massive mistake. Too soon to write TOH off if you ask me.

Tough game. Treviso are building every year, they fell away in the 2nd half of the season the last couple of seasons but have kept the momentum going this season. They'll be targeting another win here to wrap up 7th. No one gets anything handy there. I'm a lot happier with how the team looks this week, any of the defensive errors we witnessed last week will be punished again. Tough night at the office for the pack, hopefully they can hold their own.

Unlikely delayed coverage will be picked up for streaming though, generally it is only live games...

Fantastic to see Healy getting a start. He was by far our best player against the Russians
