“Being in a position to provide free-to-air coverage of the provinces to our audience in the newly reconstituted URC adds a further dimension to that and allows us to ensure our best rugby players are seen and seen to inspire future generations who want to one day wear their provincial and national jersey.”
“Throughout the year RTÉ Sport has seen the very best of Irish athletes compete domestically and internationally against first-class opposition at an elite level,” said RTÉ Head of Sport Declan McBennett. The URC final will also be delivered free-to-air with RTÉ and TG4 broadcasting it live on alternate years. Spórt TG4 will also have exclusive behind the scenes action from the competition across its social media channels.
TG4’s Rugbaí Beo will continue to be the station’s flagship rugby programme and will also broadcast 26 games involving Irish provincial clubs as well as an additional 16 games featuring international club sides. There will also be extensive highlights and analysis each week on Against the Head on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.
