Not sure what you mean. The game kicks off 18:10 S.Africa time, don't get what their fascination is with this early Friday evening time slot*? For us at 17:10 I would think a lot of people will barely have finished work or may be commuting home around this time.
*That's not to say I haven't realised the Sharks game is ahead of Wales/France KO at 20:00.

*That's not to say I haven't realised the Sharks game is ahead of Wales/France KO at 20:00. | Kick offs for both are SA time 20.10 - not sure what’s gone wrong there. When the SA teams play in Europe I’ve noticed they don’t kick off later than 6ish…must be built in to the agreement for SA tv I guess. Cardiff (both games) on Sunday at 3pm SA time. Munster and Zebre have the Saturday pm and Saturday early evening slots. Logic escapes me as to why all fixtures over both weeks have the same clubs playing at the same times.

I think we're both wrong according to the URC website 2 hour difference between UK and SA for all games:-

Ha! Yes. I’m using Kenya time ( 3 hours ahead of Uk). You’d have thought I’d be good at this after 25 years of doing it.

Indeed, all fit and well with us and hope likewise.
I’d like to express some concern for the roller coaster that is this forum, though.
The Scarlets roller coaster has shown signs of revival and climbing up to heights not seen for a year or two, albeit challenged by rust on the tracks from inactivity coupled with disinterest from some hugely talented players whose talent has misplaced their persistence and effort.
Having been used to the roller coaster making a passing impressions of a tube train (underground/metro/subway) for much of last season, the Scarlets version seems to be in better shape, relatively, than the Wales equivalent.
The National version seems to be heading for the buffers on a steep descent due to lack of depth in playing strength due to the pro clubs having been on (WRU-inflicted) financial starvation rations.
However, I’m off topic. It’s as if the WRU have switched the points and sent me in a different direction, while they’re busy playing the Welsh edition of Monopoly and putting hotels on the board.
Hope Pieter is ok and enjoying life.

Surely it's the combination. 5:10 on a Saturday or Sunday - most working people can watch. 5:10 on a Friday, most can't (first half at least)

We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

When you say not warm you mean about 20 degrees centigrade. When we say not warm we mean you get icicle's on your whiskers in the North Stand.
