Which probably means that Sky's bid was derisory.

Absolutely not but Sky understood that BT and eir pockets were deeper in this case and refused to bid it up.

Fair enough. Ditch sky sports and get a decent vpn for TG4 games. Happy days.

Should we pass a cap around for Stuart Barnes?

Should we be happy with BRITISH telecom taking over the Heino? I don't think so.
Stuart Barnes could end up with eir btw.

Great if he does. They know how to run a production

Eir have a huge chunk of the world cup too exclusively

Sky will have 7s circuit, RFU championship, Top14, England and BaBas AIs

I wouldnt pay €500 a year for that, especially when Rugby Championship is easy to get streams for

Return game next week. Cheetahs can go 15 points clear of Cardiff and within 3 points of Munster. 3rd Saffer derby in R21 when Kings host Cheetahs again.

Score was 45-21.

Sat 20 Jan 3pm (Irish Time) Cheetahs v Kings Sky Sports

blockhead · Post by **blockhead** » January 20th, 2018, 4:53 pm

Cheetahs 45-24 Kings

blockhead · Post by **blockhead** » January 20th, 2018, 9:10 pm

Cheetahs only 3 points behind Munster, and they have a tour down there in early April. Outside possibility that Munster could end up here for the play-off.

Ospreys bin Tandy. A few sides firing coaches during the season this year.

Not all that surprising - they've been in steady decline for a while. Interesting to see who'll take over.

2017 was a terrible year for the Osprey's. They were doing fine in the league last season and then the wheels came off. Started off same way this season but recentley they have been pretty good and I say that they will get that 3rd heino spot. So suprised that they didn't wait till the end of the season. Maybe they have someone lined up.
