So what do people think about a Friday night Wales-England opening fixture? I'm mixed. On the one hand it means I'm fairly likely to be able to get some tickets, but transport to/from Cardiff on the Friday this year wasn't exactly fun.

I disagree with the Friday night fixtures to be honest. It really makes things much harder for fans travelling and increases the not unsubstantial costs by having to loose a days work as well.
England Wales isn't too but but anybody against France or Italy is a nightmare.

I don't like them much either. The only thing they have going for them is I'm slightly more likely to be able to get to a game than my debenture-holding friends/family. It makes for a very long day, though, as I can't justify time off work or an overnight stay for 33 blokes running around a field.

The last time I had an offer of a ticket for an evening international in Cardiff the last train left 15 minutes before the end of the game ! Planned Engineering works in the Severn tunnel I remember watching the game on TV and they let the Cardiff school children attend for free as there were so many unsold tickets.

Friday night games would be good to keep traffic down at weekends.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

If the people attending the game are able to travel back home on the Friday after the match.
