What's on the box: This weekend's televised sport
There's sports coverage across the channels this weekend as the GAA, rugby, Premier League and Formula One seasons continue, among others.
In the United Rugby Championship, Munster face their first Interpro fixture of the new calendar, travelling to Galway to meet northern neighbours Connacht.
After the chaos of Singapore last weekend, F1 travels to Suzuka for the Japanese Grand Prix where a win for Red Bull's Max Verstappen could see him snatch the Drivers Championship title for the second year running.
There's also coverage from some of the GAA club championship fixtures around the country, as well as three games in the Premier League.
