First published on Friday 03 August 2001:
NEWPORT'S league game against Cardiff at the Arms Park has been switched from Tuesday August 28 to the next night.
Their Heineken Cup opener at Newcastle is a Saturday night fixture, on September 29, televised live by Eurosport.
Newport's home Heineken Cup tie against Leinster will be on the Friday night, November 2, televised live by BBC Wales.
There is also a possibility next month's Celtic League clash against Munster at Cork will be moved to the Friday night, September 7. Irish TV is interested in showing the game.
The upshot of that could be wealthy English clubs coming in and cherry picking Welsh players all over again. Be warned.
