Re: Tour to Japan
I'd imagine the viewing figures would be minimal regardless. I'm just happy they're on TV at all.
Re: Tour to Japan
I've just had a look at the Sky coverage for June and it looks like they aren't showing the Ireland games - at least there is no sky logo beside our games which I take as being non-coverage.

Re: Tour to Japan
Rights for the rwc are way higher so JRFU probably just doing what suits them/ticket sales
Rwc will all be 8pm local time, well for tier1 of course

Agree But I imagine an Irish match directly after the Lions would have significantly more viewers than the current set upLeRouxIsPHat wrote:I'd imagine the viewing figures would be minimal regardless. I'm just happy they're on TV at all.
Well surely it makes sense to trial run games at this time now for logistics etc.simonokeeffe wrote:Rights for the rwc are way higher so JRFU probably just doing what suits them/ticket sales

If its sky might even be the case they want a clear window around Lions games as thats where the money is for them with ad heavy buildups and an orgy of sponsorship

The youth of this squad represents a golden opportunity for a media outlet to use Kids in America to promote the test against the Eagles

Two games in Japan kick off at 2pm and 2.40pm local time. They're 8 hours ahead of us so I make that 6am (17 June) and 6.40am (24 June).

Re: Tour to Japan
It'll be a long haul with the Japan games the same day as the Lions - Maori and Second AB test.

Re: Tour to Japan
Well done Rhys, nice show of faith in him from Joe. Has had a great second half of the season.
Would a good captaincy performance here put him in the frame for Leinster captain next year too?

Think I'd have called up O'Brien and had Leavy as an openside. Reidy's a good player though - better than O'Donnell imoDave Cahill wrote:Tommy O'Donnell out of the tour with an ankle injury, replaced by Sean Reidy

Might just wait to get a recording. Or even give it a miss.
