2 x derbies, 2 x South Africa, 1 x Welsh and 1 x Italian. So BBC NI don't have live rights to the home games for 1 derby, 1 Welsh & the 1 v the Scots.
Anyone any idea where we might see these games? Will they be free?

The Lions home game is indeed also on RTE. The Leinster away game in Round 6 is on RTE, I referring to the home game in Round 9😀

I stand corrected, but still surprised if they show it on actual rte TV (unless they put it on the news channel, which I think they have done before for other games). Must get my aerial so I can get the Southern, unblocked signal for rte agus tg4

Will be interesting to see if RTE/TG4 games are available in NI. RTE is blocked on Sky and Virgin on a regular basis, never any issue with TG4.

Looks like all Ulster matches will be available 24hrs after on IPlayer. Also if Ulster make the final it will also be shown by the BBC.
Every Ulster Rugby match in the URC will be available on BBC iPlayer 24 hours after each round with clips of the best action and tries on the BBC Sport NI website and social media channels.

I don't have sky, but even the freeview northern signal for rte & tg4, (which is on the HD digital band) they block some content, but as you say tg4 normally doesn't. But most of ni can get saorview (ie southern freeview) , but you need to get a 2nd aerial. You can check coverage here https://www.saorview.ie/en/get/coverage

No mention of DAZN anywhere. Does anyone know who has the broadcasting rights in Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland? Great news about the BBC NI and the rest.
From the rolling glens of Antrim through the hills of Donegal we will stand and shout for Ulster as we win both scrum and maul from the lovely lakes of Fermanagh tae the shores of ould Lough Gall we will scream and shout for Ulster as we beat them one and all!

Have had a limited time offer to renew my Premier subscription but judging from what I am seeing with BBC NI. & Wales coverage and the hope that ( stress it’s a hope rather than a belief) RTÉ and Tg4 don’t bugger us About we should be Ok. Misght need to subscribe Premier for a month later in the year depending how things go but can’t see any need for an annual subscription.
