No one would watch it in Aus/nz if it was on at 7pm? It's more important to get a couple of thousand extra tickets on the door than it is to raise awareness in the UK and get millions more watching it over here. This game was always going to have England in it, so I'm sure it could have been on at a better time. Not like there short of rugby on the TV over in Aus

Millions watching it here? Try a couple of thousand. Anyone here who wants to see it will record it and watch it later - there wouldn't be many more watching it live if it were on at 10am than those that watch it live at 5am plus those that record to view later.
Australian TV will have bought the rights to it to distribute it and show the games as they see fit to suit their demographic and achieve peak viewing figures for themselves, not to get a few more Brits watching it live. |

The next world cup will be better than this one, and this one is better than the last one, and the last one was better than the one before.
The one after next is a bit of a risk, but 8 years from now we should be able to put on a good show in North America.'"
Indeed! |

Absolutely correct. People complaining about the UK kick off times is ridiculous, the tournament is in Australia and New Zealand!
Do we give a thought to kick off times downunder when hosting tournaments? No, it’s not a consideration. |

It's not the timing that's the issue. I know Sky aren't convering it but there's barely a 5 minute run through of results on SSN. BBC have the odd reminder here and there after the likes of Eastenders where everyone begins to switch off.

You watch what they decide, show you what they decide show you.
