TG4 is pleased to announce that, as part of our ongoing commitment to the 20×20 campaign and increasing female participation in sport, Rugba\u00ed Beo will feature an all-female analysis and commentary team for the upcoming Guinness PRO14 Round 7 clash between Champions Leinster and Cardiff.
\n <\/p>\n

Female analysts have been a key feature of Rugba\u00ed Beo\u2019s revamped coverage over the past two years but this will be the first time in Irish broadcasting that a rugby game will be fully voiced and analysed by Female Talent. Rugba\u00ed Beo presenter M\u00e1ire Treasa N\u00ed Dhubghaill will be joined by former and current Irish International players Derbhile N\u00edc a Bhaird, Eimear Considine and Jenny Murphy for analysis while M\u00e1ire N\u00ed Bhraon\u00e1in will provide commentary.
\n <\/p>\n

Commenting on the development, R\u00f3n\u00e1n \u00d3 Coisdealbha, TG4 head of sport said \u201cWe are delighted to have talent of the calibre of Deirbhile, Eimear and Jenny joining M\u00e1ire Treasa and M\u00e1ire N\u00ed Bhraon\u00e1in to provide their expert analysis in a further development of the Rugba\u00ed Beo brand. TG4 have a deep commitment to female participation in sport and firmly believe in the underlying principle of the 20×20 campaign, that \u2018if she can\u2019t see it, she can\u2019t be it\u2019<\/strong>. Sunday\u2019s coverage will be a realisation of the pledge we made in March 2019 to develop female commentary talent and another step on the road to addressing the lack of visibility and cultural perceptions of women in sport.\u201d<\/em>
\n <\/p>\n

TG4\u2019s flagship rugby brand for close on 20 years, going back to the inception of the Celtic League in 2001, Rugba\u00ed Beo provides free to air coverage to Irish audiences of the cross-hemisphere Guinness PRO14 championship. With a brand revamp under Spiddal-based Iris Productions in 2018, it has received many plaudits from audiences for its production innovations such as on-pitch interviews with coaches and behind the scenes audio snoops on ref-briefings with players.
\n <\/p>\n

Current champions Leinster sit atop Conference A and will be in confident mood as they welcome Cardiff to Dublin after beating last season’s semi-finalists Edinburgh 50-10 in Monday night rugby at the RDS. The game kicks off at 17:15 on Sunday with coverage starting on TG4 at 16:55.
\n <\/p>\n

Hailing from Clare but teaching and living in Dublin, Eimear Considine<\/strong> is currently Co-Captain of Munster and played full back for Ireland in their most recent 6 Nations campaign. This is Eimear\u2019s third season as an analyst on Rugba\u00ed Beo and she also hosts the weekly \u2018House of Rugby\u2019 podcast with Ulster player Ian Madigan.
\n <\/p>\n

Deirbhile Nic a Bh\u00e1ird<\/strong> hails from Cork and lined out on the wing for Munster at 15s before joining the Ireland Women\u2019s Sevens Programme. She made her 7s debut in Dubai in 2017 and 15s debut in the 2019 Six Nations against Scotland at hooker. Outside of rugby, she began her sporting career playing soccer and Gaelic football and has also competed in Jiu-Jitsu and boxing.
\n <\/p>\n

Jenny Murphy<\/strong> is an Old Belvedere, Leinster and Irish rugby player with 31 international caps including representing Ireland at two Women\u2019s Rugby World Cups. She has won a Grand Slam and two 6 Nations Championships.
\n <\/p>\n

M\u00e1ire N\u00ed Bhraon\u00e1in<\/strong> is a former Milltown and Galway football star with 3 senior Connacht Titles, 1 All-Ireland Minor Title, 1 U-16 All-Ireland Title and 2 All-Ireland Club 7\u2019s Titles to her name. M\u00e1ire is an all-round talent who works as a presenter, commentator, analyst and secondary school teacher and is also an accomplished piano, fiddle and tin-whistle player.
