Quote ="BrisbaneRhino"Were this the Wallabies, there'd be 40,000 at a big stadium for an EVENT, not just a ">match.'" Considering [url=http://www.rugbyinternational.net/Wallabies test match attendances[/url, they only attracted 15,000 to watch Fiji this year. In Australian Rugby Union these days, only New Zealand are a really big draw (just as NZ are in RL). Brisbane will draw 45K against a top tier nation, like Ireland and SA this year. Just as Brisbane can draw that many for a RL test. Stadium Australia only attracted 48K for England test this year, 42K for France last year. Italy only drew 20K and 22K last year to Canberra and Melbourne respectively. The tabloid and FTA media paints these doom and gloom stories every year, but RL tests capitalise on that hype, and attract walk up crowds on the day. This should attract 15K, and that would be a decent result.

Point out where I said it wasn't poor, trollboy?

Then the usual trolls made some non-comments.

point out where I said you did!

It was just your usual generic idiocy then.

Agreed, it should have been in PNG. Said that before the 4N started.



And the problem seems to be in Sydney with rain, not anywhere else in Australia, when it comes to attendance reductions.
