Isn't that quite strange, a hell of a lot of people much prefer them, as they much better to attend in Arvo than night. But I understand watching on tv is preferable for most at night. And like it or not I suppose sport primary function is not for live spectators anymore.I hope that you are correct, I hate the afternoon matches.
Didn’t know it was a day game until I got home in the evening
Test footy is normally on at night. Had a busy weekFor someone who has taken the effort to subscribe to a rugby forum and apparently actively engages in the forum, I find that hard to fathom.

If you are going to have arvo tests it has to be Sunday and not Saturday when club footy is getting played. Was grand final day in Vic.
I hope some of you guys have checked the calendar for the first Bledisloe test…
Think he's referring to some who didn't even know it was on.Thursday evening is very different to clashing with club Grand Finals, especially in some of the regional areas where it's a proper community day. Nothing can be done now but it's a shame.
I always pictured you to be like 65 - 70... hmmmBefore having kids, I definitely preferred the arvo games. Great to pop down to the pub/head to a mates place from lunchtime and setup for the arvo.
These days, the silver lining of most primetime games kicking off after 7.30-8 is that my kids are usually tucked away in bed or at least settled in their room (they're youngish).
Any time the TV gets flicked on in my household during daytime hours my wife and I end up being strong armed into a Bluey marathon, and any sport watching is relegated to the iPad. I am weak.
Tell you what, it going down like a ton of bricks over here in NZ, a mid week test that doesn't finish until after 11pm? When I remined people at golf on Sunday, they didn't believe it to start with. To be honest just put it down to RA trying to prove a point over NZR.I hope some of you guys have checked the calendar for the first Bledisloe test…

Of course it is, hell anyone who reads any rugby forum will know it hard to explain facts because when people are pissed off they blame whatever has been in headlines etc lately. I pointed it out and the question was well , why have it in Melbourne home of AFL etc etc. None the less all they see it's good for Aus and piss poor for NZ, I agree up to a point there perhaps could of been a bit more thought by both sides to maybe avoid it, but it has to be on thurs if game is in Melbourne I think, and nothing underhand about it.
