BUSY WEEKEND FOR NEMETON TV AT PRO12

The culmination of a year’s hard work draws to the close for the Rugbaí Beo team at Nemeton TV over the next two weeks as the Guinness PRO12 reaches the final stages.

Working in partnership with Sky, the 25 strong Waterford-based crew will be on the road again Friday and Saturday as Leinster take on Ulster in the RDS Arena with a 7.45pm kick-off, while the Sportsground becomes the eighth different venue to host a Guinness PRO12 Play-Off as Connacht meet Glasgow Warriors on Saturday.

Broadcasting live on TG4, presenter Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill will be joined both days by Munster and Ireland legend Marcus Horan and Eoghan Ó Neachtain, while John Broderick completes the panel on Friday and former Connacht player Eamonn Molloy joins the team on Saturday for live commentary and analysis. The games will be called by Garry Mac Donnacha and Gearóid Mac Donnacha.

According to Fintan Walsh, Rugbaí Beo Series Producer at Nemeton TV, “This is a culmination of a year’s work. These are the games everyone here wants to be at and bringing to the homes of hundreds of thousands of rugby fans around the country. There is certainly an air of excitement in the office this week and we are busy putting the finishing touches to what we hope will be two brilliant broadcasts at the weekend.”

In a constant bid to produce high quality television and to be the leaders in innovative viewing, Nemeton TV want to bring to sports fans a different way of looking at rugby through top quality analysis and debate.

Featuring over the weekend during the broadcast will be interviews with Irish rugby’s newest star Garry Ringrose and a feature package with Tom McCartney and Finlay Bealham, who will be key men for Connacht this weekend.

Live coverage begins with Leinster v Ulster on Friday at 7.15pm, followed on Saturday with Connacht v Glasgow Warriors at 6.00pm. The PRO12 Final coverage starts at 4.45pm on May 28th on TG4.
