Is the BBCw and S4C schedule out? Are they def not covering the Ospreys nor Dragons games?
Going by the Ulster website, the Ospreys and Dragons away games are only on Premier Sports.

Not sure UR have considered Welsh coverage.
BBCw look like they are may be doing the bulls v scarlets, so maybe a small chance S4C have the Os game.
Dont think the welsh coverage is decided into January yet, but the options are Scar v Conn, Card v Zeb, Drag v Uls or Lein v Os.

Sorry for being thick. The UR website says Saturday's Zebre match is being shown by 'It/Prem'. What does this mean? Italian/Premier?

Wales Online reporting that the Scarlets and Cardiff's away games in South Africa in rounds 6 & 7 end of November and start of December will now be played in Italy, due to the need for them to quarantine for 10 days after, which would mean they would be unable to play 1st group match in Heineken Cup.
Munster and Zebre were also due to travel to South Africa in those rounds, so could Zebre have away games in Italy?
Round 6
Stormers v Zebre, Sharks v Scarlets, Bulls v Munster & Lions v Cardiff.
Round 7
Bulls v Scarlets, Sharks v Zebre, Lions v Munster & Stormers v Cardiff.

Could be a lot of travel for the Boks sides in Rounds 6 & 7. Assuming Munster & Zebre do go to SA and Scarlets and Cardiff to Italy, then the Boks sides may have to fly between Italy and South Africa between the two rounds.

Not ideal but still under 10 hour direct flights between SA and It, as far as I know the Saffer teams had to make a one stop minimum on the way to east coast of Austrailia or New Zealand, 16 hour plus trips

Getting a flight at midnight, sleeping on it then get off the next morning at 10am is much preferable to messing up the body clock going east west.

Press speculation that

No shortage to be fair. As things stand, no Enterprise that day, bus substitution from Drogheda. Doing work on the line.
