North Harbour vs Otago

@Stargazer I hate the Thursday games, not at all conducive to getting fans along for a 1930 kick off, 1800 kick off would make it more appealing.

@taniwharugby Yes, I agree. The kick-off times on weekdays are clearly picked with tv viewers in mind.

@JK was one on the Mitre10 Cup website...I not been on Herald or Stuff today for fear of being bombarded with another story.
-
@taniwharugby great competition, but with way too much rugby, poor promotion, busy family lives, game attendances are not great

That story is there. Avoid it
But yeah I always read the actual paper when having one of my many meal breaks at work. Not a mention of this game in there
Otago scored. Harbour at real risk of letting them back in

Way too much rugby? Maybe in the main centres, but most smaller provinces haven't had any rugby games to go to other than club or school rugby since October last year.

@Stargazer just wish the NZRFU would do more to promote it....

@hydro11 that line gets pulled out every year. Don't agree. A lot of S15 rugby ( whole seasons on the Blues ) is very average. There is just too much rugby.
There isn't that much rugby though. The Super Rugby teams only play 15 regular season games and the Mitre Ten Cup is only 10 games. You really can't have less rugby.

@kev Yeah, I've seen regular ads on Sky for the last month or so, and they have only just started posting little - what I call - prank videos on FB (for ex, video "Waikato fans" wrapping Yarrow Stadium in a Waikato flag with a post saying "look what Waikato fans did to our stadium"; it's a matter of taste, but I don't find them very good). Some provinces have been more actively promoting their first home game on social media than others. I have seen some bill boards in town. I guess it's harder for teams in the main centres where their home games have to compete with many other events (not just rugby, or other sports).
