    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Beat afl in total but not in wa Mel or sa where we are a minor sport Aussie ratings up maybe 5 to 6 percent ? Sky are showing many games on sky open (a free to air platform) so it’s not just about money Sky nz has no comp so maybe 40 million next time for 2 teams (32 million now)

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Always thought union in Australia was just a fad due to the super league war and would collapse But would never have thought we could make a dent in nz. Union used to be untouchable. Now it’s not and with the younger demographic we would dominate

    New Zealand 2 will deal a massive blow to NZ rugby

    Nz isn’t giving Australia 12 million pa out of generosity It’s bc they need Australia to not die There is no chance an nz local comp could compete with the nrl esp if they have two clubs in nz It will be a feeder league for the nrl or European / Japan union
