Pro12 secures Welsh rights deal with BBC and S4C

Public-service broadcaster BBC Wales and Welsh language channel S4C have agreed a four-year deal securing live rights to the Pro12 from the 2014-15 season of the rugby union club competition.

S4C will show Sunday afternoon games on its Clwb Rygbi programme, with Scrum V Live showing Friday evening fixtures on BBC 2 Wales.

UK pay-television broadcaster BSkyB is the Pro12’s primary rights holder, showing live matches on Saturday afternoons.

The Pro12 is contested by teams from Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons, Ospreys and Scarlets represent Wales.
