Don’t touch that dial… here’s the sport on TV this weekend

Not even Jean Byrne knows what the weather’s going to be like over the next few days, so keep our TV guide handy just in case.

  • One to sit in for: We normally like to start our Friday nights nice and early but we’ll make an exception tonight to watch Ulster v Munster in the Pro12.
  • One to Sky-plus: When it’s raining on Sunday afternoon (trust us), you’ll have to choose between the World Road Race cycling and the All-Ireland camogie final. Watch one, Sky-plus the other and watch it on Sunday evening (when it will still be raining, trust us).
  • One to skip: We haven’t really got into the Super League season so with a heavy heart, we’ll be giving that a miss.

  • Very harsh on Rugby League once again. A Great sport. You will miss out on some crackers on the first weekend of the playoffs.

    • Hi Niall firstly thank you for posting this every weekend it is very helpful. May I suggest a couple of things that may improve it better and I hope I don’t seem to be nit picking but I am really.
      1. Could you list the Irish teams/sports in bold
      2. Could you break the days up, it just runs through all the way. It is eventually quite easy to follow but could be easy from the start with a couple of tiny tweaks. Once again thanks.

      Hi Richard,

      I’ve bolded the Irish teams and sports so hopefully that helps. I’m not quite sure I understand your second point – do you mind explaining for me please?

      Thanks,

      Niall
