THE GUINNESS PRO12 have this afternoon released the breakdown of broadcasters for this weekend’s crucial final round of regular season fixtures.
The league have also revealed the factors behind deciding the date and time for the semi-finals when they take place next weekend.
With all six Pro12 games kicking off at the same time on Saturday (3pm), the league will be covered by each of its TV partners simultaneously with only one fixture not featured live on TV.
