      @Nepia whispers are, change is on the horizon so teams are looking to go higher up the table...luckily NZR has history of bailing those out whenever they need it.

      And with the 'new improved' NZR set up, bailouts for overspending will continue

                    The organisation of this season seems weird. We've just had a huge gap with no rugby, all I've had to watch was the Warriors returning to type, and now we have the RC and NPC starting at the same time.

                          Does anyone know whether the NPC is being broadcast in Australia or the UK?

                          Doesn't appear to be on Stan or Sky and no mention of it on NZR+ as far as I can see.

                              I see that the Pacific Nations Cup runs from 23 Aug to 21 Sep, so that will also impact provinces that have Samoan, Tongan and Fijian reps.

                                  That's rude of Stan to be calling you a fluffybunny for a reasonable question.

                                    fluffybunny is a term of endearment in many countries, ie he's a good fluffybunny

                                        I’m seeing a fair bit of it on sky sports and Facebook but that’s about it. Olympics and The All Blacks are taking the majority of the limelight on the sports news and websites etc I guess. Disappointing but with the timing I guess half expected.

                                          A day before the first NPC matches.. still almost no coverage

                                          I doubt many NPC sides would spend much money (from the little they have) on promotion other than digital. All their promotion will mostly be online and I've seen a fair amount in amongst the Olympics and ABs. I guess it's all about what channels you follow etc.
