[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 968235, member: 40658"] What about instead of hemispheres, we go with time zones. Then the UK, France, Italy and South Africa have a grouping. Japan, Australia, New Zealand and the PI have a grouping, Argentina, USA, and Canada has a grouping. That way the viewers in that region will get to view most of the matches at acceptable times to see their teams play. But we shouldn't kid ourselves. A lot of politics are involved here. And more so during the 2023 RWC host bid. There were a lot of angry people all around, and some nations just don't like others and their administrators. So the way forward will be very difficult to change what is already the status quo. And every attempt so far has been found/percieved unfavourably. [/QUOTE]
