[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 111991"] [url="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2007/04/19/srabou19.xml"]Telegraph: Black clouds gather for Sky[/url] Sky let the cat out of the bag when it revealed a huge slump in viewing figures for the Super 14 with this season's most watched match attracting a grand 269,400 viewers, not even enough to put it in the top 10 watched matches of last season. Even with New Zealand's stars back with their teams, viewing figures are sluggish, surprising considering that the festival of rugby that is the Rugby World Cup is in only a few months time! With France odds on to field a squad of unknowns on their tour of New Zealand this summer, the onus is on the Kiwi fanbase to vote with their feet. Note: also scan down the page to "Southern Effrontery". Personally, I always thought Brendan Gallagher had a grudge against the SH so take both articles with a pinch of salt and bias that it deserves. [/QUOTE]
