    There was an article that briefly mentioned the sky viewership. Apparently it was up 15% this year

    but people are turning away from the game and not bothering to watch

    'Unions gay, League's way better'?

    @African-Monkey played golf with a work colleague on Saturday and he rushes off to watch the Wahs, I get home, no rugby so decide to have a watch for the 2nd time this season...15 mins.

    Probably not a good match to try and reignite watching league (I think everytime I do they shit the bed...)

    Sorry Wahs fans.

      Aside from using that stupid name you have nothing to be sorry about, they broke last weekend.

      Also, on Planet Rugby someone posted a Cully article where he was claiming that there were less viewers this year than last year, but the final had the most viewers in 10 years. There was also some confusing stuff about digital viewership that didn't make sense. I had to check it wasn't a Gregor Paul article. I'll see if I can find it.

        @Nepia this one?

        Might be reading it wrong but they mention an increase in attendance despite a reduction in games - but don't factor in a reduction of games when talking about total TV viewership.

          That is similar but slightly different, I may have seen a non updated version, I definitely don't remember reading the discussion about the decrease in the number of games.

            Not surprising, I felt Super Rugby this year was the best we've seen for about 10 years.

              Get ready for the most boring tip of all time.

              Even after their loss I still think the Chiefs are winning the SR Title this year.

                Here's the other article from Cully. Fuck me they're two poorly written articles. In one part he compares viewership of TV and digital with only TV.

                If Gregor Paul wrote these I wouldn't have been surprised as he is generally anti NZ rugby.

                    A bit weak compared to a competition like the Top 14, apparently, they had 5 million people tune into the final alone.

                      You can't really compare the two

                                      Also, would the combined viewing be 1m+ when combining Sky Sport 1, Open, Sky Sport Now / Go and Te Reo coverage on Sky Sport 3?

                                        They're probably counting/estimating unique individuals.

                                        So 2m unique individuals over the entire comp watched, and of that 700k (on Sky and Open) of them watched the final?

                                        Yep, but chances are anyone who watched an in-season game also watched the final.

                                        It's good numbers, but it's also interesting they haven't released the overall season increase like they did for Sky Go and digital platforms.

                                          I don't think there was an increase, but due to the fact there were less games.
