With poor scheduling from Mitre 10 Cup administrators, this game will clash with the first World Cup quarter-final so I am expecting a fairly poor crowd.
The administrators are presumably New Zealand Rugby. As I've been pointing out for a while, when it comes to organizing competitions they are borderline incompetent.
Super Rugby. Mitre10 Cup. Ranfurly Shield - not often part of sentences that include well-run, fair and balanced competitions.
Yeah exactly, if NZRU say the competition shouldn't clash with the RWC, I'm pretty sure NPC Administrators have to follow suit. This is shit that not only is it still running alongside, but is actually clashing with games, let alone finals games!
-
@Bones Yeah - I hadn't actually compared the kick-off times but for the record...
This one apparently kicks off at 19.05 (NZT) and England-Australia apparently kicks off at 20.15 (NZT). Because no-one in Wellington or Canterbury wants to watch England play Australia.
It's bullshit!
Probably corporate bullshit!
Edit: And could easily have been played on Sunday afternoon.

Well this match came alive while I got a refill.

@antipodean yeah I started watching. I'll be switching over for the England game though (with a smile) knowing nothing much will happen after that.

Just like those last two, I certainly did. The Wellington tighthead was so high up off the ground he almost needed stilts.
