A little under 32000, I’m watching the game now on delay and it was announced late in the game. Will be interesting to see how close th Warriors can get to it.

Anyone know what the Wallabies v Pumas crowd was ? The stadium looked 70% full, so I'm guessing maybe 30k ?
The commentators say they are expecting 80k at the MCG for Bledisloe 1, I cant rember Union pulling crowds that big in Victoria, so I'll believe it when I see it.

So that’s increased crowds, increased ratings, increased participation and increased sponsorship. The only thing that’s stayed stable is the endless whinging of certain LU correspondents.

They had crowds over 80000 back in the 90s. One over 91000 from memory. There is a huge kiwi population there and I will not be surprised if they get over 80000 this time. It will be very pro kiwi though.

They`ll get 80k (or whatever) once, and then when the Melbourne public see what a hopeless rabble they are they`ll be lucky to pull 40k in any other games played there in the near future.

They had 53,000 sell out on a Thursday night at Marvel last year. And in 2007 they drew 80,000 at the MCG.

I wouldn’t consider that Marvel crowd to be pro NZ though. It seemed 70% Australian.

Kiwis do bring huge support to Bledisloes here - it’s their biggest event and the packages from NZ sell out well in advance. I’ve been to heaps of bledisloes and it always feels Australian 70/30. But the kiwis seem to get a lot more involved.

In NZ the crowds are Kiwi 95/5 though!

It is one of driest winters ever, Hopefully crowds stay high with the bigger grounds out of action. The game is flying right now

It was played at CommBank, so crowd would have been in the 20Ks considering the venue can only hold 30K.

Eels match tonight isn't selling too badly despite last week's result and the 6:15 timeslot. GA north has just sold out, which usually indicates a crowd heading towards 18K+.

What's Rugby like to watch live ? I've never been to a game, but I'd rekon it's made for TV.

Haven been to a test for a decade. It depends on the referee. Most ruin the games. End of story.

42k attended league games in Sydney on Saturday.

Ppl always bang on about Broncos great attendance, but if Sydney only had 1 team we'd fill homebush every home game.

The temporary stand there at Mt Smart looks very nice. Wonder if it'll nudge 30,000 today? (Which is just incredible for NZ).
