You don't think so? I truly reckon we would. From people who are Rugby fans, but have other rugby commitments on their saturdays, if they didnt have those they would defintely be going to go watch some prems.I don't think you suddenly get a lot more people at games because you remove the conflicts with schoolboy rugby etc.
If you move one of those to Friday night or Sunday I don't think you really see much of a bump in crowd figures for either.
I remember as a schoolboy, we would be interested in Easts down the road, but a lot of people would rather watch schoolboy rugby instead, due to the pageantry and atmosphere. But if the only rugby on was prem grade on a saturday, I'm sure interest and attendance would increase.
You may disagree, but to me I think it makes sense.
