Positive - it’s free
Negative - Winker and Ferris.
For home games, may need Premier Sports for away games in UK/Italy/South Africa and the odd inter pro TBC.

RTE/TG4 sharing 52/60 games involving Irish provinces each year over next 4 years.

Marketing department flogging STs with the by line of "frozen prices" obviously forgot to mention the 20 per cent reduction in home games....14 down to 11.
Disingenuous at best, con men at worst. Clearly think UR supporters are a bunch of fanatical thick cretins. Where could they have got that idea?
Shurely not the UAFC site?

The question is was UR aware of the new format before they published the frozen ST announcement? Fewer home games means less overheads, I wonder if eventsec will be taking a cut also?

Mick Dawson, the CEO of Leinster, says the geographic pools are only for two years then meritocracy comes in.
Scots and Welsh insisted on this, he said.

11 home games works out at £23.72 per game for a new season ticket for either terrace. Not much of a saving on individual prices, especially when there is no guarantee of getting in with social distancing still in place. UR need to look at this again.

UK tv details TBC, but seems to be a mix of BBC NI, BBC W, S4C and Premier Sports going by reports.
