Absolutely. It's a much better sell imo for media rights if you're selling three back to back games.SaintK wrote: Wed Jul 10, 2024 12:37 pm Yes pleasehttps://www.theguardian.com/sport/arti ... g-powerAll future men’s Six Nations fixtures could be staged on Saturdays as rugby union officials seek to enhance the championship’s pulling power.

That's going to be a big empty stadium, eh. Given no one will know if they're going until the week before.Slick wrote: Wed Jul 10, 2024 1:24 pm By the way, also saw in the article about this that they are considering Qatar for the final is the Nations Cup.

On the other hand, less likelihood of getting too pissed to see the match, or having to rush to the toilet because the seal is well and truly broken by the evening kick off time.Slick wrote: Wed Jul 10, 2024 1:23 pm Sundays are terrible.
Quite like one or two Friday night games.
Only problem with this is that someone (Scotland and Italy) are probably going to get a load of 12.30pm KO’s which are almost as shite as Sundays
