[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 995086, member: 45355"] I’m just surprised, it’s just a thing I thought everyone accepted because it seems to be the only explanation I’ve ever seen given, just a fact, but it seem that is how it’s explained in nz and Aus but not rsa The new stadium didn’t open until 2011 and night game shave been around for a lot longer than that and students (speaking from experience) would rather an afternoon game so they can go to the pub or a house party in the evening there are still the occasional day game but each nz team might get one and normally against another nz or Aus team the problem with conference as far as I see is they’re confusing and unbalanced , basically two seperate comps that only meet for an overall winner isn’t complicated I just did a random check, 2019 chiefs schedule, one game was 515pm and the rest were 735pm or through the night when overseas, our 2015 season we didn't have a single game earlier than 735pm you cant really look at the most common schedules between the two countries, 5am to 10pm in RSA and 5pm to 5am in Nz and say they're equally grueling let me know when you have to get up three weeks in a row between 1am and 3am to watch your team [/QUOTE]
