Pro12 TV Schedule

Can someone point me in the direction of the tv viewing schedule for the last day of the regular Pro12 fixtures.

Thanks

I believe this is Penfro Petes area of expertise.

The various broadcasters are probably still discussing who gets what.

Really?

You do know that the Pro12 does have a website with all the fixtures and the broadcast schedule?

http://www.pro12rugby.com/matchcentre/schedule.php#kjZgYC79aGcLrS0u.97

But the broadcasting schedule for the last round of fixtures isn't decided until a few days before the matches?

Seriously?

Don't they do the same for the last round of the football (premier league etc)?

There's not 7 channels to contend with there though.

Sky haven't decided which games they're interested in yet... so many qualitee games to choose from.

But S4C are in talks to have the Munster v Dragons game moved to Sunday.

Fly you are a little divil

Both BBC and S4C have full game schedules for next Saturday, so I envisage Glasgow V Ulster on Sky, Ospreys V Connacht on BBC and the Scarlets V Treviso on S4C and WGAF what is on anything else.

I guess:
Blues-Zebre : no tv or possibly S4C
Connacht-Ospreys : BBCW
Edinburgh-Leinster : BBC ALBA
Glasgow-Ulster : Sky
Munster-Dragons : TG4
Treviso-Scarlets : Nuvolari and possibly S4C

Who cares about TV, I'll be at Murrayfield, then catch up later.

Another guessing game for the final round.

It's so exciting - no other league keeps you on the edge of your seat quite like the Pro 12 does.

Maybe there'll be a simulcast transmission of the TV executives battling it out for the rights to the other games.

The home teams will have advantage of their national broadcaster showing the game, as per usual.

So:

Blues v Zebre - BBCW or S4C/Nuvolari
Connacht v Ospreys - TG4/Sky Red Button
Edinburgh v Leinster - BBC Alba and/or Sky Red Button
Glasgow v Ulster - Sky
Munster v Dragons - TG4/S4C/BBCW
Treviso v Scarlets - Nuvolari

I reckon Sky will burst themselves with excitement and want to have "As It Stands" popping up all over the place. It would be nice if the broadcasters agreed to provide feeds of scores from other stations to the match they're covering.

Going on the importance of the games for the nations involved I would say it would make sense to go-:

Blues v Zebre - Nuvolari/S4C
Connacht v Ospreys - BBC Wales/Sky Red Button
Edinburgh v Leinster - BBC Alba /or Sky Red Button
Glasgow v Ulster - Sky
Munster v Dragons - TG4
Treviso v Scarlets - S4C/Nuvolari

Glasgow v Ulster - Sky
Munster v Dragons - Sky Red Button
Connacht v Ospreys - Sky Red Button
Treviso v Scarlets - BBC Wales
Blues v Zebre - /S4C
Edinburgh v Leinster - Nuvolari or untelevised or abandoned

5 days to go, and we don't know if matches are on terrestrial tv, pay tv or being televised at all.

Shambles.

+1

5 days to go, and we don't know if matches are on terrestrial tv, pay tv or being televised at all.

Be quite surprised what you can find when you do a bit of research rather than just slating things off all time:

Sky Sports 2 is showing at least one

S4C is showing at least one

BBC 2 Wales showing at least one

Ok so we don't know which ones yet but at least 3 will be shown, the 3 which will have biggest outcome on final standing I reckon.

Easy really Chunky

Which tells me absolutely fart. I am in England on Saturday. So I need to know whether the pub I am in needs BBC Wales, s4c or Sky.

You'll know by Saturday.... It's Monday. Don't panic.

It tells you that games are being televised when you asked 'if matches are on terrestrial tv, pay tv or being televised at all'.

You didn't ask about specific matches and given that they had to wait until after yesterdays games to see what ones would be the important ones next week least we now know that 3 are on.

I would imagine by tomorrow or Wednesday at latest we will know what games are on which ones or is Wednesday not early enough for you to arrange viewing the game you want?

Probably not. I need to sort out a venue for a birthday party thing.

Well if its of any consolation the pathetic Aviva Premiership in same boat as BT not know what games they are showing yet so least we not the only pathetic league around.

Would it not be the usual home team broadcasters, other than the game SKY picks? SKY will probably go with Glasgow v Ulster, although I think Connacht v Ospreys would be a better game for them.

Easy answer head for a pub with Sky, as that means they also have access to BBC Wales and S4C.

?

Why?

I have a feeling Ospreys will blow poor Connacht out of the water - or into it if the wind is going the right way.

Not too sure, but from a Welsh point of view, there is more on the line in two away games than there is from the home game, so I think it would make more sense for BBC Wales, and S4C to try and nab one of those (or both).

Normally I would have said Glasgow v Ulster, but I don't think either side will be at their strongest due to injuries ...... and a suspension

I think Connacht can give Ospreys a real game, and next to the Glasgow v Ulster game, I think this one is of most interest. Connacht will be going all out to win to take 6th spot, while Ospreys will be going for a bonus point win.

Now that you mention it, the Treviso v Scarlets game is a very interesting one. Both having Euro spots to play for.

But both realistically just need to pick up a losing bonus point to secure European rugby. So it could well be a pretty dull game.

If they have sky, they'll be showing the sky game. Or BT sport = aviva prem.

Fair point, but I don't think it will be. I believe both will go all out for a win. Might be wrong, but it's the final game of the season for both, and both have something to play for. It's all about securing that bonus point at a minimum.

Good point, in that case your pretty much fooked anyhow, as I doubt you'll find a pub that has S4C or BBC Wales, that doesn't have Sky (well not in England).

I reckon you might be right.

So in that case then it wouldn't matter if knew the fixtures weeks in advance.

bedfordwelsh wrote:So in that case then it wouldn't matter if knew the fixtures weeks in advance.

Depends what game is on what channel doesn't it.

If you can find a TV with Freeview you won't get SKY (unless you buy a NOW TV one day package) but you get SC4 and BBC rugby on the red button.
Other than that somewhere with a good broadband connection and a laptop/tablet.

There is also the complexity of limiting yourself to a ragged old dingy pub for a Birthday party just to ensure that they don't have the turnover to afford Sky......

Fooked no matter what avenue you travel up.

According to the Sky+ app on my phone. Glasgow v Ulster is on Sky Sports 1 HD.

However I will be in Wexford for the weekend with my wife.

I think the Pro12 organisers should consult with me and make sure that I can see the game I want no matter where I am on the planet.

If they need to do stuff for me like organise a party or whatever then they should bloody well get the finger out!

That's the least that this pathetic DISGRACEFUL biased league should do for me I would have thought.

Treviso-Scarlets confirmed live on Nuvolari, they will show right after The Blues-Zebre game which suggests to me either S4C or BBCW are showing it live.

If you chose an Italian pub which can get Hotbird satellite you should be able to catch the Scarlets game as Nuvolari is free on air.

Latest news from inside the tent - broadcasters are still fighting for the best picks of the matches apparently.

However, it looks like

Sky are getting two Irish games for SS1 (Glasgow/Ulster) and SS2 (Connacht/Ospreys) and a third on the red button - probably Munster/Dragons (only one side with something to win)

BBCW/S4C plus Nuvolari are showing Scarlets and Blues matches (6th spot and Italian qualifier)

BBC Alba and TG4 have Edinburgh/Leinster (possible 6th spot vs nothing to win)

Currently checking sebsites -

S4C - showing a game from Round
TG4 - Live coverage of the 22nd and final round
Guess they could both be covering Connacht v Ospreys

BBC2 WALES - Treviso v Scarlets http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05wc4w4

Sky Sports 1 - Glasgow Warriors v Ulster http://www1.skysports.com/watch/rugby-union-on-sky

Updates to follow I guess

Least we managed to keep pace with that other pathetic Aviva league eh Chunky.

There is not one single miniscule factor of the Aviva Premeirship that the Pro12 is keeping up with.

BBC ALBA = Edinburgh v Leinster - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05w7qyb

Not really sure what you are getting at, as the sentence isn't structured particularly well. The games in the Aviva Premiership are generally scheduled and published months in advance. Makes a huge difference in planning for crowds. Especially if you need to block shifts at work etc.

God you moan alot Chunks.
