Virgin Media Television has secured exclusive live coverage of Ireland’s Summer Test matches against Georgia and Portugal this July.
Kicking off the summer tour, Ireland face Georgia this Saturday 5th July, live on Virgin Media One, with coverage starting at 5.30pm. A week later, Ireland take on Portugal on Saturday 12th July, also live on Virgin Media One, with broadcast beginning at 6.30pm.
Joe Molloy will lead VMTV’s studio coverage, joined by former internationals Ian Madigan and Andrew Trimble, bringing expert insight and analysis before and after each game.
Dave McIntyre will be on commentary duty for the Portugal fixture, with John Forrest calling the action on Georgia. Ireland and Munster legend Alan Quinlan will provide co-commentary across both matches.
“We’re delighted to bring Irish rugby fans live and exclusive coverage of this landmark summer tour, with Paul O’Connell leading the squad and Craig Casey captaining a dynamic group of household names and emerging talent,” said Virgin Media Head of Sport Brian Gleason.
“A tough opener against Georgia followed by a clash with an always exciting Portugal side will provide a real test for Ireland and it’ll be fascinating to see which players take their chance to impress in green.”
