    NZ v Wales quarter clashes with the ABs v Japan.

    I guess that the RWC draw was done way before the ABs confirmed their game. BFs were always sceduled as host to have their quarter in that slot, at that ground wherever they finished after pools.

    I think I will have to decide which one to watch live as flicking between Sky and Spark is bound to be a pain.

    ABs every time

    AB B's vs Japan is a bit less of a must watch.
    ABs game starts half an hour before BFs anyway. so It will work.
    I can understand why watching BFs v Wales again might be painful for you though 😉

    @Crucial

    This clash does seem a needless own goal when we are hosting the RWC.

    I will prioritise the Black Ferns but I just looked and I couldn't see the All Blacks on TV schedule in the UK anyway!

    More brilliant work by Mark Robinson and his gang....

    Both games will be on Stan in Aus so will fire up the laptop and tv at the same time.

    Japan would have set the kickoff time to suit their home audience. Not much NZR can do.

    RWC controls the womens schedule and Japan controls theirs.
    The AB game is a money maker isn’t it? The TV timing will dictate that one.

    I have to think NZ could have had some discussion to avoid this.

    At least enough that they are literally crossing over. It may be a money maker but it still should not conflict the actual Black Ferns in a RWC quarter final

    Spark Sport will now be pissed off with NZRU who have just told everyone not to use their platform

    You might need the iPad going too because I reckon there’s a Blackcaps game on.

    Refs for the QFs. The breakdown was a mess when Barrett-Theron did the NZ-Aust game.

    Journo - “shouldn’t you have been aware of when your teams were playing?”
    NZRU - “yes and we were”
    Journo - “well quite obviously you weren’t “
    NZRU - “as an organisation we were but the people that needed to know didn’t “

    😀😀😀

    I guess that the RWC draw was done way before the ABs confirmed their game. BFs were always sceduled as host to have their quarter in that slot, at that ground wherever they finished after pools.

    I think I will have to decide which one to watch live as flicking between Sky and Spark is bound to be a pain.

    ABs every time

    Absolutely.

    Call me a chauvinist but it’s not even close.

    going by previous match ups, Japan shouldnt really be a contest...therefore, if it is, it means we are playing shite, and I've bailed on enough AB games this year...plus I got sponsor tickets to the BF game in the flash seats

    Definitely if the choice is the live RWC experience then that’s an easy choice.
    AB Japan game will be more about analysing how the seconds go.
    BFs game may also be a done deal result wise but this will go down as an iconic RWC like 87 for the men’s game.

    To be fair the list of things I’d rather do than watch the Black Ferns is extremely long

    Really? I am seriously enjoying watching this RWC. It’s like hopping into a Delorean and going back to the early days of pro rugby in the men’s game. Not as programmed and defence oriented. Lots of opportunities for skill to show out.
