It's winter mate. What's going on with that?

Exactly. Bloody nuts in my opinion and I've made my feelings quite clear on that point. To no avail.

For me, this was called the pub.

I think the Socceroo match ratings will change, they had lots of live sites, add optus and media mediaweek have already done an update to 2.133 by adding in regional's.
I still think it was crazy to go head to head .

To take a pessamistic view, the cricket rating is not too bad for the Gem digital channel on a Saturday night.
The rugby one on Ten is frankly pretty terrible for a main channel
SBS had a great night with the world cup

The Socceroos played a tight, compact game and if not for a little technological aid to the French would have come out of that game with a creditable draw against tournament favourites. Despite the fact that we have, frankly, a really shite team.
Still peeved i had to constantly flick between these two.

A game going up against the WC in a game featuring the Socceroos. Even the most casual of soccer fans tune in for these games. I would have using my laptop on split screen but I was on a boat all night.

Yeah absolutely.
A mate at the test match at AAMI park sent me a photo showing the crowd cheering in the stands when the Socceroos scored their penalty!

You haven't got a smart phone? (and Foxtel now)
Just excuse yourself from the social gathering.

Agreed.
I had a group of around 6-8 guys coming to the rugby on sat night, once they found out it clashed with the football then that dwindled down to 2 of us, with not one of them watching the wallabies live because they decided to go to the pub to watch the socceroos instead. These are fairly ironed on rugby guys that are season members at the rebels.
I wonder how much the TV audience would have increased if it had been moved to 3pm instead (the only feasible time to play it).
I also wonder what the blowback would have been from Irish and other broadcasters who would have preferred the original timeslot.
The crowd at the game was clearly fine.

It was actually the perfect opportunity to play a Sunday night game and dominating the ratings. No clash with socceroos, still a weekend time slot for the Irish audience, no clash with NRL or AFL etc.
If 7.30 on this Sunday night is good enough for the NRL and their SOO fixture, it's good enough for us to play it.
I reckon moving the day of the game after the World Cup schedule comes out is more difficult than moving the time slot.
I also doubt either camp would have been happy with a 6 day turnaround before the 3rd test.
