[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 191438"] well considering what the tv companies pay for the rights they have an input into when the fixtures are scheduled, particularly when they're host broadcasters like France Televisions are, add to that the fact that the other nations have never had a home game that has kicked off at 8/9pm whereas the big French Autumn Internationals all get Prime Time coverage on France2 I don't think I'm going out on a limb by saying it's what they wanted, they've had for a number of years with Saturday games and given the success of the Prime Time Friday games in the world cup it reinforced the opinion that it was a good idea.
