@KiwiMurph SRP was never going to be bad for NZ audiences. Shame about the other half I guess. Convenient he's left that part to other experts who, presumably, have more nuance.
There's a concerted media attack on the viability of Super Rugby in NZ, so of course this tweet is going to focus on NZ. It doesn't mean anyone is pretending Oz doesn't exist.
You're just looking for something to be annoyed about.

@Derpus I actually am reasonably surprised that viewer numbers are doing so well, I haven't seen any rating numbers from here or Aus, and not even sure where to look. If they are not great in Aus are they down all over, or still getting good numbers in ACT etc where team is doing well?
It's a good product. Aussie teams are definitely improving, I've watched Oz v Oz games for the first time in years.
More interestingly, there are different styles in play evolving. Everyone is not playing the same anymore.

@Kirwan Funnily enough probably least number of Oz derbies I have watched this year, usually watch them all but have tended to mainly just watch the main ones with Brumbies/Tahs/Rebels . More old age than anything, as after a day of club rugby and watching NZ games I find it a little tougher staying up for games tat finish around not far short of midnight.

@Stargazer meh, only 14 game season

Not so sure having played every minute of SRP is good player management, unless all the other options in the squad have been injured.
if he's still performing and uninjured, NH teams tend to have much longer seasons

@Kiwiwomble NH teams are bigger and rotate a lot.

All Blacks could be on the move as the world’s top teams hunt big signings from NZ.

@Tim Might be able to tell us,I presume it is more Herald click bait.

Rumours about midfielders mostly. Nothing confirmed
- LF to France
- Aumua to Blues/Crusaders/France
- Goodhue maybe to the Blues
- JRK has interest from Blues/Crusaders/Highlanders

not surprising Crusaders looking into Levi, need more power in their backline, the current midfield has the physicality of a wet towel.

Just want to point out these sellouts and that Blues vs Crusaders game was Test match level.
Test match level? Hold up, isn't this the stick we repeatedly beat our SR coaches with to ensure there's no pathway to higher honors? How can we trust Razor to coach ABs if he's never coached at test level?

He got the job, you can let that go now.
