I was looking for the crowd figure for the Auckland Blues vs
Crusaders this weekend, and came across this report on the web.
Interesting because it makes direct comparisons between Super
Rugby, The Premiership, Top 14 and Pro 14. It does of course
focus on New Zealand, but there's some interesting nuggets in
there.

I waded through all that and found this little gem..
"...Rugby is in good health in the northern hemisphere. Their
competition might not have the same excitement and talent as
Super Rugby, in New Zealand at least, but crowds are excited
nonetheless..."
Discuss.

From watching Super Rugby, there are some very poor sides in
there. Defence, at times seems optional and the refs do not
seem to care too much about things like forward passes etc.

For me it is back to the old argument of a running game versus a
game involving all 15 players.
77 points at The Stoop last Saturday dominated by running backs.
How many of us are happy with that?
