Can I watch Boks v Ireland Rugby?
You can, but not as easily as the Six Nations or November internationals. The summer games are not on free-to-air TV, meaning RTÉ and Virgin are out of action.
Sky Sports are doing the honours this weekend, with their coverage starting at 3.30pm. If you don’t have a Sky subscription, a NowTV pass could sort you out.
