[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 999541, member: 40658"] our day games are 15:00 and 17:00 but the 17:00 games are being played under the spotlights as it gets dark around 18:00. Every Springbok game in SA is played at 17:00 no matter the opposition. It's the most reasonable time for the majority of viewers around the world. You get up between 05:30 and 06:00. all good. Myself and a lot of people I know go to sleep between 24:00 and 02:00. Horses for courses I guess. Some are early birds, others are nightowls. It varies due to work, home, family and interests... Not going to fight you on that. What NZ is asking isn't bad for NZ? The only way they will know that, is when this pandemic is over, and everything is back to normal and every country can play sports in their own country at their preferred times. It doesn't help they do feasibility studies DURING the worldwide pandemic. There will be no clear answer as to what will be financially attainable. Sure they get a whole lot of viewership now, but that's because they and Australia are the only ones able to show it. The people are hungry for sport, live sport and they will watch whatever they can to have their fix. The current time of the matches in NZ shouldn't be a point to raise now. because there's no other sport at that time, apart from test cricket between West Indies and England, which is just a big Yawn in any case. Saturday mornings I have a choice between watching cartoons with my son, Super Rugby Aotearoa, Reruns of Big Bang Theory, or How It's Made on Discovery channel... [/QUOTE]
