The average home Super Rugby crowd is half of what it was just four years ago. We could go on. And we will. It is two decades since the Wallabies filled the Olympic Stadium at Homebush. They would now struggle to fill an Olympic pool.

Nobody stopped because the best schoolboy players got poached by the NRL.

It’s the interminable scrums, with the clock being allowed to run, a visible act of theft perpetrated on the viewer. It’s the disappearance of footballers and their replacement by athletes. Folau, the leading Australian rugby player of the recent era, was no more a footballer than Mark Ella was an athlete. Michael Hooper is a brave, strong, persistent, resilient and sometimes inspirational leader who somehow still has trouble catching and passing the football.

You’re wrong; it’s because of Folau and Rudgy involving themselves with issues outside of Rugby (PC).

And it's not just because Raelenes face is the most horrendous thing to look at. This is what happens when you put a motion in charge of something they don't know how to do effectively

Not true!

Good read, I use to watch it too but it is too boring 😴🥱

And here I was thinking that the people on the field were part of the immediate result of a win ...it's their personal drive. Contrary to trolls, let's put these guys paid a salary to perform in their core reason for why they were recruited. 🤔

At home watching

Maybe not but it sure did help.

It’s boring and snobby 🤷‍♀️

She has to go simple

Good news I welcome the decline now Western Force is gone

Boring sport for the rich run by a villain from Dr Who

Castle was a disaster at cantaberry,what has she done for ARU ?

Falou is & has always been about himself, never about his sport. He's a publicity driven individual & those who tolerated & trusted Falou into the limelight are also responsible for the decline. It's a team sport not about one. Everyone has turned off.

New Zealand CEO, New Zealand coach their dastardly plan has worked, Australian Rugby is dead and the Kiwi's will forever hold the Bledisloe Cup. It was a minor sport that took on Australia's dominant religion and history now shows that was just dumb.

Lol. A huge number stopped watching because of the botched Folau saga.

Can't be surprised, lack of funding at grass roots level and instead going shopping for ready made NRL players was only ever gonna go one way. Is a shame seeing the game I love, dying a slow painfully death because of morons at the top.

I stopped watching due to Falua's treatment....... oh!, and whan the wallabies won the World Cup they sold the games off to pay review channel!......? So I guess rugby Australia killed it off

Raelene would fit in well at the SMH once she gets sacked.

MalcyBhoy

Peoole had enough of LGBT ideology being shoved down their throat

Why is rugby even needed now it’s no longer the running game it was once promoted ....NRL is slowing becoming 1 out running than kick on tackle 6 which resembles union at times. Also why play a tahs game at Newcastle which is a NRL town no will support union up there

So true, Rugby has destroyed itself....devoted followers like myself switching to AFL.

Stopped watching when the greedy SANZAAR decided to expand the competition to Japan and Argentina. More became less, the standard slipped and to me it’s no longer a genuine provincial competition like the days of old.

Rugby Union going backwards!

She needs to ease up on the pies at board meetings.

Would you go to see a Little River Band tribute act ?

Total BS. I flew to Japan to watch the tahs play their first Super Rugby game and I can tell you directly that I stopped watching because of Castle and her mishandling of the Izzy situation.

Maybe people are not interested in men behaving badly. Maybe parents don't want there children to be unthinking hero worshipers and a new generation is here.

He's just disgusting. coming from a gay homosexual. She's not too flash either frankly. Correction needed.

It’s almost like private schoolboys are useless....

⬆️⬆️⬆️THIS⬆️⬆️⬆️ the refs HAVE to stop messing with the game or union rugby is doomed i’m trying to get my american friends and family into it with nbc’s excellent six nations coverage but the matches are an interminable slog of collapsed scrums and questionable penalties

In a nutshell rugby is boring...we went to a game a few years ago at Etihad stadium and the most entertaining part was the paper planes being flown from the stands by the crowd!!!

have they tried picking up the ball and running with it?

The biggest eyesore in Australian sportTwelve tumultuous months off the field has inevitably taken its toll, with Australian rugby union crumbling in the early stages of the 2020 Super Rugby tournament. well they made it all about politics. 3 times as many people watched a game of AFLW on tv last weekend than watched super rugby. Even a repeat of grand designs outrated the hapless Waratahs. A culture of men behaving badly is not doing it any favours.
