🏉 **Rugby World Cup Fixture Drama!** 🏉
Wales fans, brace yourselves! The Rugby World Cup in Australia has everyone talking. With the fixtures now confirmed, there’s quite a hullabaloo over match timings for Wales. 🕒
**October 2nd:** Wales kicks off against Zimbabwe at 12.15pm Adelaide time, which means a VERY early 3.45am start for fans back home. Yawn! Not exactly ideal for a Saturday morning match. 😴☕
**October 8th:** Up next, Wales faces Tonga in Melbourne at 6.15pm local time, a slightly more reasonable 8.15am in the UK.
**October 16th:** The big showdown against England in Sydney starts at 7.45pm, 9.45am UK time. A bit easier on the eyes, at least!
🏆 With a Round of 16 included for the first time, this World Cup promises plenty of excitement. But it’s not all smooth sailing. Some fans are calling it “disappointing” and “lazy” scheduling. One commented, “All out passion. All out rivalry. At 3am… Carnival!” 🎉
And it’s not just Wales in the spotlight. Hosts Australia have a controversial opener against Hong Kong China, leaving many Wallabies supporters unimpressed. Fans had hoped for a thrilling face-off with New Zealand right from the start! 🏟️🇦🇺
World Rugby’s Brett Robinson defends the schedule, emphasising the sport’s growth on the global stage. Yet, fans remain vocal, especially on social media, with mixed feedback and some serious banter flying around! 💬
What do you think? Is this a fair shot for the underdogs or just a scheduling mishap? Get your alarm clocks ready, and don’t forget to share your thoughts! ⏰🏉
