Sometimes it's just so depressing to see Super Rugby crowds.

[@puakeriwinterburn]

If they played in Hamilton they would have had a decent crowed as they always do, I don’t know why they played this game in Auckland , when it’s not the home ground for either team , in saying that the blues don’t even get a good crowd when they play in Auckland these days either

[@keagilemokone1156]

The Pacific team crowds are better than when South African franchises were competing in Super Rugby. Be careful what you wish for 😢

[@khankake9576]

1 News Sport had a story on poor Super Rugby crowds tonight, the two main reasons were the cost of living, stars playing overseas.

[@Chowwiefn]

At least you clarified "sometimes" This can also be said for some NRL and URC crowds

[@puakeriwinterburn]

@@khankake9576 I believe it ,that’s sad but true , the competition also isn’t as exciting as what it used to be without the competition of the exciting South African teams , the island teams just don’t bring the same hype and fan base that the South Africans did

[@fogtowng]

Not from NZ, but why not charge 5$ / 10$ a game and fill the stadium? Super rugby is my favorite rugby to watch, it’s wild to see a very small amount of people in attendance

[@BraziwiSteve]

It could be free, they still wouldn’t fill the stadium

@adam_toddster5367 I wish we were spoiled in our wages but no we ain't make the tickets $10 and I'll go

[@MatW4606]

In my opinion, it’s better to watch at home and way cheaper. I prefer being able to pause it and listen to commentary plus have my own food and drinks and comfy couch.Don’t have to walk 10 minutes to the toilet . Also tonight the temperature here is about 6 degrees Celsius so it’s pretty cold, not great weather to be sitting around outside in the cold

[@amigunz9164]

Play Moana home games in the islands, Samoa and Tonga 👍

Times have changed mate it’s not 1990 anymore. People prefer to watch it at home . Doesn’t mean people aren’t interested in rugby, it’s just enjoyed from the comfort of their own couch, with their own food and drinks l, and better commentary/replays.

[@AllInTheGame01]

Very comfortable Chiefs win, rest of the season is now essentially about if the Brumbies will break up the Top 3 NZ Teams by finishing ahead of the Chiefs & how early will the Canes/Blues start resting players for the play-offs?! Also, which of the Drua, Highlanders & Crusaders will get those 7th & 8th play-off spots?

[@juvetb1]

Moana's defence is really, really poor.

[@santosl.harper4471]

just their defence?

European rugby is way better than super rugby i never saw a empty stadium in the Europe tournaments

[@richardscanlan3419]

Larger populations and teams stacked with SH talent has a lot to do with that.

Whining online

[@nikolakozhuharov1042]

not a big fan of Damon Murphy bit I admire the way he played advantage whenever possible and that he paid attention to whether the ball's been hooked in scrums - something that's been overlooked too often in recent times

Looks like the boys rather go get some kava than wanna defend😂😂

NZR looking at cutting sum teams for good becoz of expenses so i reckon moana need to go get rid of the highlanders nz teams comp only with the drua for 10wks play each other twice then 2 top teams play the final and the winner plays the winner of the aussie comp,the winner plays the northern hemisphere winner🏆 Bring back North Island vs South Island game mens and women🤟make the comps shorter but more intense then add on from that if we need too.

[@andyrandall8526]

Q - try at start of 2nd half: kick ahead by White-15, White-4 remained within the 10m of where ball landed = PK. Why not given?

[@mihaipopescu1295]

... 'da Chiefs rulz!...

[@bucky2355]

Interesting to see that Super Rugby viewership is up this year , but crowd attendance is still shit. They should really look into smaller stadiums so that tickets/ food and drink prices are cheaper

[@olwethusilo7155]

Sad times for this competition, a few decent attempts at improving things but it’s just not the same.

[@julianalderson3938]

Yer coach was one of the best dfenders hard cos just not workin

[@Slappies007]

One way affair 😮

[@JTM1809]

Moana need to sort their own 22 defensive effort. Too many tries, that shouldn’t have been conceded. Tupaea simply had no business scoring that try. Sure, ENS got a lucky bounce on his kick, but the tackle attempt was abysmal. The ALB try as well: people don’t know who covers for whom … two layers of defenders and they just part like the Red Sea. Hard to win games when your D constantly lets you down.

[@jorgepautene]

Lack of fan engagement has to be a concern. Depressing really.

[@tinymahuta]

Culture Round? Lol, this comp is meaningless. Maybe have a 'Try and Get Some People to the Stadium Round'

[@yeahdefinitely6607]

How many games have you attended? I’ve been to every Canes home game this year. Maybe be part of the solution, not part of the problem?

These yellow and red cards for head clashes are turning me off rugby all together! Nobody goes out there with intent to smash another player with there head!Doesn't matter if you go high or low .....

[@garywagner2466]

Yawn. The high tackle laws are there to protect the players. The insurance companies and lawyers said so. If a player is too stupid to realize that, and hasn’t learned after years of enforcement, there’s no hope for them.

[@jonchess8844]

The moment the SA teams left was the end of the competition

[@MatW4606]

Yeah, like they provided any competition whatsoever. They got their asses absolutely thrashed by all the NZ teams for the last 5 years before fleeing across the world. And before you say anything, I know the springboks are back to back world champs but their super rugby teams were absolutely rubbish. Last title was what 2014?

[@onskyk]

@MatW4606 I you misunderstood the comment. Support is gone. I know SA teams did not win the tournie that often, but they had the crowds, atmosphere and they were pretty competitive every year. But don't worry about the SA teams. The URC tournament is fantastic and the support is great. We don't miss Super Rugby I can assure you.

[@KekeHimona]

@onskyk Crowd size was on decline even when South Africa was part of super rugby. Pretty simple to find those figures. South Africans sounding more and more like Trump supporters Small FACT: South Africa lost almost a quarter of their crowds, and Australian audiences shrunk by nearly 20 per cent. The Bulls' average crowd of 2017 was just a third of what it was in 2015, dropping from 26,492 to just 9347 in that period. In total, only four teams in Super Rugby increased their average attendance over that three year period, and all four were New Zealand teams.

[@waynelion-cachet35]

The yellow card at 25 minutes was dubious. The Chiefs player wasn't tackled, he was coming in as a support player to the tackled player and effectively ran into the head of the defender?

[@thefobbie0034]

Yeah ridiculous!

[@RugbyLOLs]

Didn't they headclash each other lol, double yellow?

[@samstods]

Looked fairly intentional to me and the player didn’t have the ball so wasn’t necessary

Super rugby needs to join with Japan all the stars players and big names coaches are there. The game is slow and boring to watch now. Japan will sellout games. Just let them add 4 teams to super rugby since we don’t have South African anymore

[@SamWhite-no6dd]

Another spectacular crowd for Super Rugby. Deluded NZ rugby fans will no doubt be here to gaslight anyone who mentions the low attendance. In their world, everything is hunky dory.

[@khankake9576]

Don't worry, the top of the table clash between Auckland, and Wellington, tomorrow afternoon will be a sell out.

[@comicop2513]

Piss poor bait right here 🥱

[@Aggieappa]

No one cares because these are just artificial invitational sides with no identity. It's simple to sell out a rugby game. Get a team called auckland and team called Waikato and then have one of the auckland players say everyone in the Waikato married their cousin. Simple. Sold out venemous Hamilton crowd. Have to create identity, exclusion and a little bit of hate. Then people will go. These rugby board people have no idea.

You do realise majority of rugby viewers watch it on TV right? Just because nobody goes to the stadium doesn’t mean rugbys dead. You’d be surprised as to how many people watch it on TV. It’s still very much alive and well in NZ, just that the medium to watch it has changed over the years from going to the stadium like in the old days
