Hi Carlos, Ignoring your barb about being sacked, the piece quite clearly states 5:35pm (AEST – or “Aussie time”)… The only reference to 7:35pm is local time, meaning Christchurch time, which is when the game is scheduled to kick-off. The only way it would be a 3:35pm kick-off in Australia is if it was scheduled to kick-off at 5:35pm in New Zealand, and it’s not, so…
