Super Rugby 2025

For all the good of this season, we've played for 18 weeks, seen some great upsets, but at the end, two New Zealand sides have been clearly better than the rest of the competition, and the Australian sides have fallen flat.
The Brumbies were good for large patches, but at no stage did you expect them to lose. The Hurricanes would have put up more of a fight - I'd even go as far to say as a full-strength Highlanders team would have been no worse.
If the Aussie sides can't compete at the business end, it is always going to hold back the competition, because there is no way to build hype for a semi-final, which everybody knows the result of before it is played.

This is a ripper story about Jamie Joseph.

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

@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.
This post is deleted! -
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.
