[QUOTE="unrated, post: 994945, member: 45773"] We also have early games when we play in NZ or Aus, I will admit it's not midnight games unless we are playing in Argentina. But SANZAAR does not just consider the South African perspective when choosing the times of matches. So in other words when they schedule a SA based match and the time is something like 3 am nz time, then it's not just so that South Africa can maximise the tv income for Super rugby and consequently NZ but also because that would be favorable towards most of the European viewership. This is beneficial to all SANZAAR partners in terms of financial viability. We have to accept with such huge time differences that we won't be able to watch all games live, but from my perspective the long term health of Super Rugby will be in a decent position. Its the Australians that keep on being negative about this alliance. I for one, am more behind SANZAAR than ever in the midst of the Corona Virus crisis as well as the north shamelessly teaming up to keep Beaumont in power. Their lobbying of Fidji and Samoa speaks of the influence and lobbying power. For a more healthy game we need the balance of power that SANZAAR provides to WR [/QUOTE]
