If England get through to face New Zealand in the semi, it will be semi final #1 which is scheduled at 1:00pm.



Is there any chance they may switch it to 3.30pm seeing as this will be more of a main event than Aus v France/Fiji/Samoa?



I will be missing part of the 1:00pm game unfortunately.

I'd highly doubt it. The BBC will want the 1pm KO for England's game.

Hope not. We're 8 hours in front here in KL so a 9pm kick off suits me fine thank you very much.

Bit harsh on Scotland to assume they won't make the Semi

I thought both the semi's were to be shown on BBC?



if they are, then it makes total sense to switch the times.

It makes no sense at all IMO, you would not see the kiss ball world cup changing the KO time at such a late stage.

Don't see what the problem is,we crush the kiwis then sit back and cheer on who ever is playing austrailia....oh and get on the refs back to make sure the aussies have a rough ride

seeing as the teams are progressing "to plan" it must have been the intention to have NZ v Eng up first all along so hardly likely to be changed now

BBC1 at 13:30, then BBC2 for the 3:30 game.



BBC1 goes to Final Score at around 4pm, so makes sense for the England game to be the earlier one.

Id prefer to have England first, the more sober I am for it the better. I can never concentrate for the 2nd game of a double header. Magic weekend's a nightmare after Catalan v London's done.

I need England first. On a train back to Manchester at 7.15pm from Euston and don't fancy the post match rush after an England game.

Truth be told, I thought that England being on first at Cardiff worked really well.



Everyone was in for the England game (although granted, the opening ceremony would have got people in) and Wales and Italy were on almost straight away - which kept people in the ground for the most part.



I think a similar structure at Wembley would actually get more people sticking around for Australia's game than if they were on first.
