It’s a pity that will mean European club rugby’s flagship occasion being relegated to ITV4. The exposure it could have got on ITV1 as the lead in or lead out for the Cup Final would have priceless for the club game, with there still being a chance of an English team being there (although obviously I hope it’s Leinster!) and with live TV coverage of the club game in England largely confined to pay TV for most of the past 30 years. Of course both EPCR and ITV will have known of the risk of this happening and decided to run with it anyway, so maybe theyre not that troubled.
