SF Chiefs v Brumbies

[canefan]

And yet the Wahs pack the house every week. At the moment, I think league is a better game to watch

Good to finally see a kiwi team taking the 3.

Don't get why teams don't do it

Ironically DMac should have kicked for the corner late last week

Personally I thought it was the right call, but I do see the argument for not taking it as well.

Jesus this halftime coverage.

If you want to appeal to young people, get young people on the show. If you want to appeal to old people, get old people on the show.

But don't get old people on the show trying to be young people. Awful.

I love SBW's halftime English learning lessons.

Such a shame we never got to see what you could do at test level Shaun.

Defense lets him down so they say... that boot though....

Yeah I find that a very hard pill to swallow when you look at those selected ahead of him.

Love’s defence isn’t too bad….

Is that a song by Chicago?

@canefan ..the Warriors fill grounds no matter where they play rain hail or shine I suspect if there was a team in Christchurch they would fill their stadium week in week out

At the company I work for in Auckland nobody talks about super rugby it’s all Warriors talk
Up the Wahs

Warriors/NRL do a far better job of engaging their fans

In Super Rugby it feels like only Ardie and Rieko actually try and generate some hype.

It's true. Everyone in Chch talks about the Wahs before the Crusaders, especially the younger audience, and yeah, they would pack out every week down here too.

[ploughboy]

penalty aside jacobson has been a tackling machine

It feels like most of the Fern are between 40 and 65 years old.

If you were between 10 and 25 today would there be enough about Rugby and Super Rugby to hook you into the game? I suspect not.

[Steven Harris]

@African-Monkey that’s it in one a younger audience who are engaged

@KiwiMurph but even last night 2 NZ teams heavy weight contest and the stadium only half full

A lot of the core fans will have paid to watch the games on Sky.

If you go to the games, you have to pay again.

I've said several times - if you've got a Sky subscription, you should get discounts on match tickets - especially NPC and Super - and especially when they're not being sold out.

[KiwiMurph]

Will be interesting to see what happens with Crusaders and their new stadium next year

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent start to the half Brums

[ACT Crusader]

Great hands by the Ponies.

As a viewing spectacle it's poor in comparison to league right now.

[Landers92]

Finau coming in for the big shot on a 10 giving them the overlap couldn’t make it up

[KiwiMurph]

Toole how good
