AI getting it right but sort of wrong at the same time. Would make more sense saying the 23rd is special first then going on to say that it can be moved.

28th April is special in England primarily when it serves as the observed date for St George's Day. While St George's Day is traditionally held on April 23rd, it is moved to the Monday after the second Sunday of Easter if April 23rd falls within Holy Week or Easter week.

Sounds like something the governing body of rugby league would come up with.

It's also International Workers' Memorial Day, to remember those killed or injured at work.

Ha ha, i had an old colleague in the last year of his contract before retirement and the company insurance refused to pay for a hip operation for him due to not being able to prove it was work related damage, despite forty years of lifting heavy metal pipes.

On a windy day, a small crane had been left with a hanging chain without a load (against h&s regs), my mate intentionally walked near it, so it lightly knocked him and he dropped to the floor like Mike Tyson in his prime had knocked him out. The onsite union official insisted on an evacuation helicopter and witness statements and after a few months, he got his operation privately and a half million kroner (£50k) pay off for retirement - you got to play the game as best you can, because companies are always going to put management salaries and shareholders ahead of workers.
