Nothing changed. Sky Sports 1. 5-30.
5-45 kick off

Getting back to the point...
I thought the game was originally scheduled on SS2 (not HD)? At about 3pm my Tivo box EPG had golf on that channel, so I did a manual record from 5.30-8pm. When I got home after the game, all I got on the recording was golf. The next day, the EPG was still showing golf, with no signs of our game on any channel, except for the 10.30pm re-run, which I successfully recorded.
My Series Links reported that the planned SL game was not recorded because it was no longer in the EPG.
A tweet to Virgin Media produced the suggestion to check the 'unmiss' feature, which I have never heard of. An angry phone call to VM now pending.

My dad was trying to watch the game live via Tivo and it was showing golf until just before the kick-off of our game, when it suddenly switched to the RL. He thinks it was on SS2 (not HD).

Confusing.

It was on SS1 although it didn't mention this on the EPG on my tivo

I'm sure it was listed in the cherryandwhite tv guide on here as SS2?

It was. Bilko was wrong

In the tv program it said SS2 then when I looked at the SS channels it appeared showing that it was on SS1 channel switch Saturday recorded ok on sky plus.
