Lions v Crusaders - Super Rugby Final
-
When are the teams named?
-
How many finals have been won by the away team, off the top of my head, i think there have been a couple in NZ and the crusaders in Canberra once, but never in SA! Although I guess not many finals have been there.

Only one final has been won by the away team in a foreign country.

FYI, according to the Vodafone TV guide, Sky Sport will broadcast past Super Rugby finals this week, starting on Tuesday afternoon (5.30pm) with the 2006 Final, on Sky Sport 6. Sky's tv guide is not showing this channel yet, but I hope Vodafone got it right.

Kick-off time confirmed:
Sunday 6 August, 2.00am NZT
Good to see they took NZ viewers into consideration.

@Crazy-Horse Granted it sucks for us viewers, but I am sure the Crusaders won't be complaining. Playing on the highveld is hard enough, but playing there under the mid afternoon sun must surely make it even harder. A 4 pm kickoff works in the Crusaders favour.
-
they shoulda made k/o at 11.30am SA time to give us a more familiar viewing time.

Shurrup, I'm still sleeping then. 4pm suits me just fine thank you very much.
Tickets went on sale straight after the Lions v Canes game and there was a long queue to get them tickets. I don't suspect the full house signs will go up, but I reckon a respectable 50k supporters to pitch up.

Do they not have lights to play night time footy? Why not 7:30pm?

@mimic that's was I was wondering. We have to suck it up and play at night to appease overseas viewers, why can't we have the favour returned?

@pakman hasnt happened, only a single team has crossed the Ta$man (travelling East to West) to do so, otherwise only NZ teams beating NZ teams in away finals.
