Factually correct no doubt, there are other games on Viaplay this weekend.
PS Typical that the grand return of live pro rugby to Bridgend for the first time since the New Year's Day washout is on a day with a named storm coming in, and the weather being getting increasingly more horrible in South Wales all day. Touch wood/fingers crossed etc., but the pitch and the broadcast is holding up better than NYD through to half-time.
The broadcast survived this time!
It seems to be an open secret what next week's schedule should be in the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup. A few times today, most recently by the S4C commentary team at full time, I've heard it confirmed the kick-off time next week for the quarter-final fixture of the winning team (Bulls are playing Sunday afternoon, Ospreys on Friday night). Good to see the organisers are being proactive to mitigate against the silly and tight turnaround between the two knockout fixtures.
ITVX did indeed only use the world feed on their live Serie A live coverage.
