They have the viewer count at the bottom of the screen.

Time zones particularly. Distance isn't as big of a factor in the travel equation without the need to traverse multiple time zones. For a domestic audience the ability to actually see games at viewer friendly times will always be preferable.

As of two minutes ago the total views of the game on their Twitter feed sits at 121,000.

Probably Twitter.

I'm willing to bet you and I would be far from alone.

Part of the Sunwolves mandate has been to provide opportunities for players involved in the national team as well as look to qualify players. Leaves little room for marquee players. That said, there will be more wriggle room with two Japanese teams involved. Regarding Hong Kong. I think I've...

Well, I hope RA are working on it as well. As above I tend to believe SANZAAR should be looking at launching their own digital platform. There is enough of a base to make it profitable. The technology to do it is becoming increasingly cost efficient and there are a number of providers present...

The broadcast landscape has and is continuing to change. More and more streaming options are becoming available. Which has had a direct influence on our viewing preferences. There's no longer a limited range of choice in regard to entertainment. And that goes for sport as well. It's going to...

Hope not. But likely will be. Will be good exercise in the need for recruitment if they are one of the 7 teams set to join the Force next year.

So we will likely know exactly how many teams will feature in next years MLR season in early Sept with all of the groups due to put up their bond payment to buy in by the end of the first week of Sept. Most people seem to think it will be at least 9 with some unsure of whether LA will make it in...

Apparently it's the same methodology used by a number of international bodies to determine interest. Clearly they wouldn't have spoken to everyone of the population in each of the 36 countries the survey was conducted in. It probably used a similar method as with polling companies which only...

According to the methodology which can be found at the bottom of the WR (World Rugby) article anyone who responded as 'very interested' or 'interested' were considered fans. That accounts for the 338m fans. The rest fall under the 'little interested' category.

Mostly events on TV I think.

I do know that 7s has done alright on Chinese TV in the past as did the last RWC. But this survey looked at people's interest in the game and this has since been taken by media as them being fans. There is a difference. I'm interested in hockey in so far as I'll watch it if it's on TV or if it's...

I'd take those numbers with a grain of salt. At least until we find out exactly how they came to those conclusions.

That wouldn't be necessary if Super Rugby had generated its own separate revenue.

But that approach tends to lend itself to treating the competition as more of a glorified development structure. And it's lead up to where we currently sit. It needs to be treated as it's own separate professional entity. Because growing it's commercial base benefits the Test team as well.

The biggest failure on behalf of SANZAAR Unions has been their apparent inability or resistance to actually developing the competition as a commercial entity to the point where it itself has the ability to pay for itself without the need for annual grants or bailouts by the national body.
