Setanta secures Top 14 Coverage

[An Tarbh]

Setanta Ireland have secured live and deferred coverage of the Top 14, sadly though it'll mostly be available on Setanta 1 which 1 man and his dog only seem to have. At least there'll be a highlights show on Setanta Ireland.

SETANTA SPORTS have enjoyed a coup in securing the live broadcast rights to the French Top 14 tournament.

Irish rugby fans will be able to monitor the progress of the Irish provinces’ Heineken Cup opponents on the Setanta Ireland and Setanta Sports 1 channels.

The service begins this Saturday with the meeting of Perpignan (who are in Munster’s pool in Europe) and Clermont Auvergne on Setanta 1 at 8pm. The following weekend, there will be live coverage of the game between Stade Francais (Ulster’s pool) and Brive (Leinster’s upcoming opponents).

The game kicks off at 7.45pm on Friday, October 2nd also on Setanta Sports 1.

Setanta Ireland will also broadcast a Top 14 highlights programme on Tuesdays.
