BeIn Sport in France seem to have dropped Pro14 coverage, which is very disappointing. All other Pro14 coverage appears to be geo-blocked, even highlights on youtube and Twitter feeds. It's back to dodgy p2P streaming from now on. :angry: :angry:

Good to see a half decent Pro14 highlights show making an appearance. Looks like Premier Sports and eir Sport showing the same programme and I'd imagine it'll be repeated ad nauseam on eir Sport and Free Sports cos they've not a lot else to put on.

This is a really positive move for the league, and Im happy to switch internet provider to get the rugby games. It's about time that TMO's are at every game also!

At the end of the day it's the same infrastructure. I was with vodafone for broadband, and moved to eir. Simple process then to add the eir sport and BT sport channels to my sky tv. Pretty nice bonus for sports fans.

As with BT, the sports channel seems to exist purely as an incentive to hawk broadband. If you're with another broadband provider (or even with some of eir's own packages), you don't even have the option to pay for it (as you do with Premier Sports in the UK or Sky via Now TV).
Maybe they'll finally agree terms with Virgin to add it as an option to their TV package now that they have a bigger portfolio of content.

A "friend" of mine has an android box and it is super :whistle:

Would you be better off switching your broadband to eir and getting them "free" as part of that?

Some small print here. They are broadcasting every game. But they don't say they are broadcasting every game live. So not as wonderful as I originally thought ...


Thy say up to 6 games live per week ... if they broadcast the six it will be as good as all. So for example if we take they broad cast 6 games and the 7th is Connacht v Ospreys and its on TG4 I assume that eir wont be broadcasting it .

Eir would want to get their $#!+ together and sort out a few more ways of accessing their channels though. For those who get t'interweb off them it's happy days - they should have all the Pro14 and European games for no extra cost.

Delighted. £10 a month and I get to watch every Connacht game.

Seems like a huge injection of cash too.

Premier Sports deal confirmed yesterday.
www.pro14rugby.org/2018/04/30/premier-sp...4-game-from-2018-19/
Showing every game is an ambitious target. I wonder will that mean they'll be more spread out over the weekend.
Based on that, we can pretty much assume that between TG4 and eir, they will have them all as well.
EDIT: Actually it confirms that in the Q&A. Also:

Television Match Officials at every game
