Make the Aussie teams give up a home game this time.
I’ll be super pissed if the Canes lose a home game considering we’ve had to play in Canberra for the last twenty years.

@SouthernMann think it's crusaders Friday night and 2 games Saturday Sunday
Brumbies and Canes, and Blues vs Reds on Saturday I believe.
Friday and Saturday will be the sort after days. I think a lot of those travelling will head home on Sunday.

Financially better to have it as a home game. 30k crowd and gate takings v what would turn up at the Cake Tin to watch a game against the Brumbies? They'd make more money!
I'd guess teams will be clambering to have this weekend as 'home games'.

Probably 15-18k going on recent seasons and the fact the Brumbies are a bit of a grudge match these days for us. Good point though.

@Bones due out next week or week after

Was at the match against the Blues earlier this season which had about 12k, that seemed about par for the season, and can't imagine Brumbies are that much more of a draw. 15-18k seems a bit optimistic.

Maybe 15k then. I’m not sure what the average crowds were this year but the Hurricanes averaged 16.5k in 2024 so would be around that I5k I reckon.
So many factors at play though I guess. What stage of the season, how they are tracking etc. Brumbies will attract more than any other Aus side based on recent history.

When did that start? Never used to be did it?
Ok I just googled it and it started in 2014, I was in Aus, and been retired since I been back so haven't taken any notice.

@Dan54 Started in 2015, also happened in 2020 and 2021

As I said Harbs I lived in Aus for a few years, came back late 2020, and to be honest as I had retired I didn't take notice in 2021.
Us poor retired buggers don't get any extra days you see, lol everyday the same, we don't get even weekends or anything off. I don't know how I keep going
