All games on Saturday?

robinph

How come all of the games are on the Saturday this week? I thought they only did them all on the one day for the last week, or is there something else happening on Sunday that I've missed and caused them to move things around?

Seems to be the fashion in recent years...super saturday and all that....dont know if its got something to do with evening out the 6 day/7 day turnaround thing which some coaches say majorly disadvantages their teams....only a guess mind...

I would say it gives them more recovery time. There's also another break after this weekends matches and as far as I remember the last round is on one day too.

Just as well BBC are showing all the matches, otherwise I'd lose control of the remote and miss the England game.

Why oh why is our match with Wales kicking off at 1:15 when there are only two games on that day?

What sort of a wanky time of day is that to start a rugby match?

No time for lunch before hand.

A bit early for going on the piss directly afterwards.

Not to mention the hardship it places on the travelling Welsh. They really can't depend on getting over on the morning of the game and therefore have to arrive the night before or, as our friends are doing, catch a ferry in the middle of the night.

No reason for it. They could have moved it back with only one other game on that day.
