It’s not is it, I hadn’t read that anywhere or seen it mentioned on TV
https://www.wheresthematch.com/live-rugby-union-on-tv/

It’s not on BT Sport 1-3 it’s the BT Sport ESPN Channel
Is that channel available in England, I thought ESPN were Irish?
I think Espn is a us company owned by Disney, but distributed around the world.

Their web site is worth a look as they have lots of stats.

So who's going to the match? I'll be there with a mate of mine and have seats in the Tribune Partenaire.
We'll arrive some time in the morning and look for somewhere to have lunch.
Let's hope there's no repeat of the catastrophic match at Castres last season!!

Oh Yes it is, Oh no it isn't but Oh yes it is!! Thank goodness we are in the Panto season.
Thank goodness Mark others try to help fellow Tigers watch the matches.
Fair point but how many times do people need to see something, and don’t they check previous posts, or do they not know how to check their Sky/Virgin/BT planners, it’s been on there for a week

A good blend of youth and experience .
Can't wait to go to the game which could be close, but for the moment, the opposition team's not been announced.

Boladau at 7 is an interesting selection. I'm not saying it's wrong but it occurs to me that our starting back row doesn't appear to contain a natural turnover specialist so how we compete at the breakdown will prove interesting.

Come on Tigers!!
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

Interesting team for sure, good to see Simmons getting a go and Kerr on the bench. The back row is a bit experimental but if we're having trouble at the breakdown we can just bring Taufua on and he'll smash everybody out the way no bother.
