Last night's Ireland match and today so far has again been world feed only jobs, though presentation looks likely again for Northern Ireland tonight. No matches on BoxNation any more (unlike the Nations League last year), with ViaPlay Xtra (formerly FreeSports) getting three matches aired, including Portugal tonight.Seems Viaplay have spent half their budget on fancy AR elements to their set
The amount of football across Viaplay this weekend means some of the URC rugby has been demoted to online only (Zebre v Cardiff tomorrow as an example is also on BBC Two Wales). I cannot recall that happening before in the UK, though some matches that were not shown live on eirSport in the previous contract.
(PS, Is the same studio used occasionaly for the URC coverage? I can't picture it in my head but something feels different about it.)
