Yeah posted something similar in the match thread. Can't overstate how important the mid-week was in reaching the casual sports fan who otherwise wouldn't have watched on a Saturday night as they had other plans or NRL/AFL was on.

Not sure if I could find 4 people my age in Sydney that all watch rugby union.Have you ever considered getting new friends??
Even those that do I wouldn’t jump willingly into a friendship with.
Maybe says something about me.

Mate to be fair I am not young enough to pick mates by how much fun they are anyway, easier to have ones that just watch rugby.

The combined figure for the Bledisloe Cup was more than 1 million, including an implied number of Stan viewers that was significantly more than 300k.

Wallabies playmakers put their hands up as TV figures show game in rude health
Strong displays from Wallabies playmakers enhanced their claims to the No.10 and No.9 jerseys, while the Bledisloe TV ratings were highly encouraging.

Bad time, started while the AFL gf was on & while the lead up to Panthers v Souths. Would have only be die hards watching cant imagine casuals tuning in.

Silver lining - the casuals who tuned in for Bled 1 and enjoyed it probably didn't have their newfound love muddied by Bled 2's shithousery

The upside of these figures as a percentage of potential viewers is that there is still a lot of room for growth.
Compare this with the NRL, AFL and NZ Rugby broadcast audiences where they are close to their potential viewership.
If the Wallabies can attain a win rate of around 70% this will unlock the growth and the income that comes with that extra success.
Easy to write about, a lot more difficult to achieve.

70%? They cannot do this.

Not with the current team, but with Vunivalu, Kerevi, Cooper,Rodda, Mafi and Swinton in the mix, the Wallabies become a smarter and tougher team to play against.

Mafi is a tad left of field.

I agree, but hooker is a position that is far from being locked in by any of the 2’s that played there in the last two years.
Who would you pick at hooker?
I still see potential in Kaitu’u.
