RTÉ is partnering with Accenture to bring listeners live coverage of Ireland’s three summer tests in South Africa.
Beginning this Saturday in Cape Town, RTÉ Radio 1’s Saturday Sport will have live commentary from Michael Corcoran and Donal Lenihan of each of the tests as Ireland take on the Springboks in their own backyard.
The second test will be live from Johannesburg on Saturday 18 June and the final match of the series will come live from Port Elizabeth on Saturday 25 June.
Accenture will also sponsor a special South Africa summer tour news desk on both Today With Sean O’Rourke and Drivetime on Radio 1 as well as Michael Corcoran’s South African Tour podcasts.
RTÉ Sport's Commerical Manager Dermot Rigley said: "In the midst of a packed summer of top class sporting action across RTÉ TV, radio, online and mobile, we are delighted to be able to partner with Accenture to bring listeners live coverage on RTÉ Radio 1 of all three of Ireland’s tests in South Africa."
Country Managing Director Accenture Ireland Alastair Blair added: “Accenture will use our unique data analytics capabilities to provide RTÉ Radio 1 commentator Michael Corcoran with exclusive ‘live’ match updates that will bring deeper insights to what is happening on the pitch in real time.”
