The Champions Cup and Challenge Cup quarter-final schedules has been revealed.
Three Champions Cup games on Saturday. RTÉ getting the repeat of last year's final, Leinster v. La Rochelle. ITV not getting the only tie to take place on Great Britain, but rather the Dupont factor of Toulouse v. Exeter. I think their overseas match last season had ITV presenting from Ealing, and especially with the turnaround, I would suspect that would be the case next week.
France tv have a fantastic contract from their PoV it's got to be said, not sure how much they contribute to the pot; they had a reporter onsite in Cape Town yesterday, though commentary was offtube as the same commentary personnel popped up today onsite in Toulouse.
To the Challenge Cup, and TNT Sports have taken over as the broadcaster in the UK and Ireland, showing all four games. S4C will also show Gloucester v. Ospreys on Friday night. None of the Challenge Cup matches clash with the Champions Cup fixtures, but sadly two of the quarter-finals on Saturday lunchtime do clash.
NB Kick-offs are local time, so remove one hour for matches in France and South Africa.
