[QUOTE="Immenso, post: 999562, member: 74361"] The Sunday afternoon game replaces the Friday night game. The only timezone the Friday night game was good for is NZ only as it is a working week morning in the Western Europe / South Africa timezone. Sunday afternoons was part of the planning when still expecting to restart with no crowds, and travelling team was to fly in and out in same day (no overnight stay , less contact with potential disease spread). Was going to be Saturday day games as well, but moved those to night when NZ left all lockdown restrictions. Having afternoon games is useful to keep rugby attendance from being stuck in the ******-up adult ghetto it has drifted into in nz. But Friday night games would be a big earner for local sky. 5 teams and only 2 games per week means cant satisfy both (whether SRA or the Super 18, this was the same problem , same for all 4 participating nations).
