Nah those numbers aren’t rightMight need to pay closer attention to the article you posted…Your maths doesn’t seem to stack up- 2.1 million was on free to air not sky paid service, which was one game a week- on top of paid viewers.
States in the article that 2 games (Blues v Chiefs and Blues v Crusaders) got 1.3million viewers just across those 2 games.
Also says in the article there were 6.8million streams.
Glad to see good results for the Warriors- few knives out in the fanbase after that performance though so they need to be careful. Poor results won’t effect crowds for a bit yet, got tickets for a game in April (purchased pre Canberra game admittedly) and sections were starting to sell out even then
Super rugby last year after ten rounds had a total cumulative audience of around 1.3 million for every game combined
So on that basis the average super rugby game would be getting 60 to 80k average viewers
