Six Nations Rugby to Feature Friday Night Match in 2009

The 2009 Six Nations will herald a new era, with the Wales v France match scheduled for a Friday night.

This decision will no doubt have some rugby traditionalists shaking in their blazers, bemoaning the end of the 3pm Saturday kick off. Well, not me - I like it. I’m quite a fan of evening rugby, and if Saturday night is suitable, why not Friday night?

What do you think? Does it matter?!
