Game will start roughly at 10.30am 7Australia time. Which infers they have to be at the stadium between 2 and 3 hours earlier. That's somewhere between 7 and 8 ****ing AM, Have we ever had a game that started that early. So the players have their bodies stretched by something like a 18 hour time difference PLUS the stress of having them the game with a 10am start.

I'm sure that after a TC with little or no contact, both the Rams and Niners are going to present American football at its precision best (read VERY sarcastic.)

one team is gonna have a long flight home...

Thats a long haul just to have a game... makes you wonder why...

I have no idea how the players didn't have this taken out of the CBA. This is so stupid.

Absolutely stupid move. The jet lag alone will be bad but I can't imagine being banged up + jet lag...

If it is an 18 hour time difference, that means it is only a 6 hour time difference on the body.

LA to Melbourne is 8000 miles, basically flying Boston to LA, back to Boston and 2/3 of the way to LA again......
If I was betting man, I'd bet against both teams the next week..... Be curious to see how they do week 2.
