At least according to the Sky EPG, the only source of knowledge about Premier Sports these days since Viaplay took over their website and social media channels and no replacements have been put in place.
Odd that the EPCR has said nothing about this though.
Very odd. It is not even mentioned on the fixtures list on the website like every other broadcaster of a represented nation. Even FloRugby is down for every fixture even though they are showing the matches in the USA. The website also lists all matches bar S4C's fixture as being on the EPCR website; I believe this was PPV last year and will be interesting to see if that continues alongside the Viaplay deal.

Re Premier Sports Ireland, I guess the Premier League fixtures on Boxing Day will be their next big Ireland-only exclusive so that will be worth keeping a look out for I guess. Not sure who benefits that the Ireland and UK broadcast are different but almost identical once again.
