[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 644639, member: 67273"] The annual Top14 attendance is 50% larger now than it was in 2007/08. The game in Australia is struggling because they are financially screwed. A situation which is almost entirely their own doing - they squandered huge sums of money they received from TV on player contracts instead of setting up their own domestic competition which would have put them on an equal footing with NZ and SA in terms of having their own source of revenue and player development outside of SR and the Championship. Doing that in the extremely competitive and fickle Australian market was catastrophic. [/QUOTE]
