        A conspiracy?

        It seems like a linear decline across quarter of a century

            No one said anything about a conspiracy - it's not a secret. 🙂

              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.

                                    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.

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.

                                        ive talked about this before but im surprised they dont endorse more volunteers, Dunedin for example would surely have some aspiring podcasters/social media persons, a bit of quid pro quo, we give you some access and you get as much experience as you like

                                          @Duluth rightfully or wrongfully I guess media platforms probably don't see the NPC as a priority atm.
