Kick off times for the Wales tour of Australia

I have taken these kick off times from the BBC website and surely these cannot be right. If these are our times what times are they kicking off in Australia ?

Saturday 9th June

Australia V Wales 8pm

Saturday 16th of June

Australia V Wales 8pm

Saturday 23rd June

Australia V Wales 3pm

Heres the link:- http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/fixtures/default.stm

I think in your summer you are 1 hour difference to us?

LordDowlais, the times you've listed there are the local Australian times.

Why would the BBC list the local Australian times ? God they know how to confuse a man.

Infront or behind, Biltong ?

I don't care, it is close enough.

I think we are usually GMT -2, and GMT -1 in your summer.

I think that means 1 hour ahead.

so we will see two games at around 1pm and one game at around 8am, thats not so bad, I think I can live with that.

yeah, sounds about right.

I think that hours difference works the other way , Sky have the coverage for the first two tests starting at 10.30 am which suggests a 11 am kick off in the UK which probably means 6 am for the last one -shades of the World Cup .

5am ?!!! I looked somewhere else that said 6am.

Think I'll only get up for that one if its a tied tour so far

Thats 5am GMT. Add one hour for the summer time. I was too lazy to change that. Besides I am still in the EDT time zone, at least until the end of June.

I saw a poster that said third test at 6am UK time, so it's obviously right.

11am isn't too bad. Up at 6 will be annoying though :/
