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

This clash does seem a needless own goal when we are hosting the RWC.
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.
You might need the iPad going too because I reckon there’s a Blackcaps game on.

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
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.

Pretty fucking incompetent, they should fucking resign. Again
NZR admitted not understanding the World Cup rules. “When Japan Rugby set the kick-off time for the All Blacks Test, NZR did not take into account ... that the host nation would play in the quarter-final two timeslot,” it read.

France with the lead v Italy as expected but they aren’t looking that good. They try to go wide but Italy catching them behind the advantage line or forcing an error every time.
I’m sure that if they just hit it up they would make easy ground but so far I am not seeing much that the BFs couldn’t handle.
