Can only find one published attendance for the Rebels last year:
Round One - Rebels vs Brumbies - 4,190
Which was the lowest crowd of the year (for Aussie Super Rugby sides)
They also had Super Round which drew:
Day 1 - 10,582
Day 2 - 11,231
Day 3 - 10,339
But I wouldn't count that.

Week 9 SRS. Reference post, if needed.
Largest SRS points changes:
Brumbies +2.90 (-2.61 -> -0.291)
Waratahs +2.62 (-8.01 -> -5.39)
Blues +2.39 (-1.56 -> +0.835)
Reds -2.38 (+3.68 -> +1.30)
Chiefs -2.78 (+10.4 -> +7.62)
Blues and Brumbies move up the rankings thanks to their big wins. The Brumbies gaining more points because they were playing the better team. Waratahs stay where they are because there's a lot of previous bad results to overcome before they get moving.
Hurricanes rise more on the Reds falling by 2.38 points than by their own efforts, though keeping it to a one score loss helped. Their SoS has improved from -1.98 to -0.149 on account of playing the Crusaders (for the second time) and the Blues continuing to improve their record (the other team they've played twice).

SRP2025 run home

Drua 7 Tahs, Moana, Reds, Blues, Force, bye, Reds
Travel in this competition is challenging, but, I think it could be done a lot better, For example, the Force (one of the two most far flung franchises) travel to NZ to play the Chiefs and Blues in consecutive weeks, fly all the way back to Perth before turning around to fly a considerable distance to Fiji. Why couldn't they continue on to Fiji from Auckland? To rub salt into the wound they then return to Perth to face the Tahs. Not good enough, Super Rugby Pacific.
The Chiefs, Highlanders and Moana Pasifika look to have the easiest runs home as they don't leave NZ in the last seven rounds. The Brumbies and Reds have only one international trip away while the Crusaders, Waratahs, Force, Hurricanes, Blues and Drua all have two each.
My prediction: the current top 5 will make the finals with the sixth spot a toss up between the Force and the Hurricanes. The Highlanders play the top two sides twice each, they're not gonna make it. I don't think the Blues are good enough this year.

Meanwhile the Tahs play the Drua and then get a BYE.
Not surprising!

Nah McKellar will probably send them to play club rugby
It's just the Reds and Force after they play an away game against the Drua.
Not sure that's enough evidence of some sort of pro Waratahs conspiracy.

RA involvement and Waugh being an ex-Tah - this whole Drua situation combined with the lack of following Wallabies resting protocol I think they've definitely been granted special consideration and draw privileges by the administration. It's pretty much clearly obvious.

One of Loss Bleus' away games is at Albany...

So have we ended up at players of national interest can't play more than 7 weeks (not games) in a row. Byes count as a rest?
My guess is teams ask for dispensation to alter things slightly.
Rugby Australia sets it at no more than 6 games in a row and then the Tahs make a request that some players can play 7 games in a row but will then get two weeks rest.

Have we ever had anything official on what the policy actually is, or just what Christie thinks it is?
I know he's said 6 weeks previously, but he wrote this in his article yesterday
