Matt's right. And I'm sure Canterbury and Ta$man folk will be more than happy to cheer for the Hurricanes or the Highlanders when their own underachieving franchise gets mothballed.
Super rich coming from an Australian.
you might have missed the joke

$18 for the Reds is ridiculous really. Losing to the Force really hurt them, because if they could have landed home finals they would be a tough nut to crack.

From Mark Robinson
“Super Rugby certainly has been amazing. We’ve just had an update from Sky around broadcast numbers and, as an example, round 4 in comparison with last year was up 25%. So we’re sensing overall viewership is strong, and sentiment around the competition is positive -

@Machpants the Hurricanes have never stooped this low. 😁

The Hurricanes are the very definition of "mid"
Just so very average. No startling failures, only 1 success. Year after year after year of just being "okay, i guess"
The vanilla ice cream of Super Rugby teams.
-
probably still better than us
normally below average. several startling failures, only 1 success. Year after year after year of just being "okay, i guess compared to aussie teams"
