Mystery weeks?

[Dai Perk]

Hey, folks,
I'm still new to Rugby, but it has already surpassed the NFL for my favorite sport. I've been devouring as much as I can, which, as an American, means ESPN+ for international matches and Pro14, and NBC Gold for the Premiership.
I notice that after this weekend, rhere are no Pro14 nor Premiership fixtures for a couple weeks... why? Is it a standard rest period? Is some other tournament happening? I can't find any info, any insight would be hugely appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave

Welcome!

The gap is for European comps!
The champions cup (top tier) and challenge cup (2nd tier) is on that weekend:

Wow, thanks- that looks effing GREAT, I wish I knew if either of my streaming sites will show those matches... thanks for the info!

Apparently NBC have the rights to the Champions cup so seems like you're in luck

Ooh! Fingers crossed, that could be good news... my other option is buy a plane ticket and crash on your couch lol

By the way, yes yes yes, NBC's "Gold" app is carrying ALL the Euro Cup games ... looks like no NFL for me this weekend!
