Fitzgerald confident Pro12 will only benefit from Sky coverage

Munster chief executive Garrett Fitzgerald believes the Guinness Pro12 will benefit hugely from Sky Sports’ coverage of the tournament which begins with two exclusively live games this Saturday.

The broadcasting giant will screen Ulster’s trip to the Scarlets and follow it up with the clash between Glasgow and defending champions Leinster at Scotstoun later in the evening.

Munster begin their campaign by welcoming Edinburgh to Thomond Park tomorrow evening for a contest that will be screened live by TG4.
