I can’t believe this is a super rugby semi final…
French second divisions rugby stadiums have more attendance I swear
A lot of people cant afford to put food on the table.
@@timgregory82 in NZ??
@@lm_b5080 yes
@lm_b5080 yes , auckland especially. It's not to say it's not a disappointing crowd. But it's certainly not an easy or cheap night out and we live in very hard times
@@timgregory82 wow didn’t realise that sheesh, good luck buddy!
Well, we all know it will not be Crusaders for once, and that is a good thing.
If they made the quarters they would have
😂@@jordannangwala4608
Its a good thing cause now watever team ur rooting for has a higher chance of winning..if they win...what u can vount on tho is when the crusaders r in the final, its over, crusaders will ein hands down....but now yo team is not even sure they'll win😊
@fortminor679 I'm neutral in the Final.
@jordannangwala4608 after winning only 4 games they didn't deserve to be there😂
Funny how Aucklands population has almost doubled in the last 30 years but rugby attendances have halved
Mosty immigration
Chinese people arent into rugby
Doubled from all those British immigrants, right?. Yeah, I ignore them, they are just like, gardeners, cleaners, houseworkers and nothing else.
Ultimately, they should really kind of leave NZ, and umm, go and vote Reform UK, and then ermm, stay in the UK, umm, permanently?.
That is what I think.
@@alexrobinson2103yeah, more immigrants, but pakeha aren’t going to games like they used to either.
@@KiwiGraggle yeah asians love rugby, haven't you seen them hitting the scrum machine on weeknights?
I know there is more comments like this, but it's shocking that the semi final of one of the world's top level rugby club tournaments, on a Friday night and it barely sells any seats. At the northern hemisphere equivalent (Champions Cup) It would be a sell out with a sea of team flags and such an atmosphere.
I know its further and more expensive for Aussies to travel there but it's sad that the Auckland general public have zero interest in Super Rugby. I've always suspect most Kiwi's are only interested in All Black rugby and this confirms it.
Aucklander save for tomorrow NRL game
No one wants to watch super rugby anymore because there is no competition. Super rugby will die and with it the All Blacks dominance, the South Africa was smart leaving when they did!
Us Kiwis don't give a fk. Too laid back.
The problem is the result is a foregone conclusion
Try a population in Europe combined of 175 million or more (not including South Africa) vs a population of aus and NZ of 30 million
Also take a moment to realise the modern rugby fan watches from home on their 60 inch 4K TV. Saying something ridiculous like the public has “zero interest”!?!? The TV viewers are where the majority of the fan base is. I know people find that hard to accept but stadium tickets don’t make the sport any money. Sport subscriptions and TV views keep the sport funded and that’s the way it is
I really don't care what some people in the media try spin that Super Rugby attendance is improving, because my gawd, how empty is that stadium for a semi.
It just looks so poor.
They need to move it to different stadiums so it doesn't feel so hollow.
Semi Finals and hardly anyone there, it don't look good does it people..Ma Nonu was right, Super Rugby's days are numbered !
Tomorrow will be different
I watch from Ireland and I don’t understand why they don’t go for smaller stadiums to get a bit more atmosphere, moana pacifica, reds, etc are terrible to watch coz of the lack of ppl there. The NRL packs out small stadiums at the games are much better for it.
I don't know why they insist on playing Friday night games, it was the same for the Chiefs game last week. Weekend afternoon games see a better turn out especially from families.
@@bgreen240Oh yeah tomorrow's gonna be electric
I don’t blame them. Who would want to go and sit outside in the middle of winter on a freezing cold night with torrential rain and heavy winds . Not exactly enjoyable right ?
Pretty poor attendance for a semi final.
It remains to be seen how many turn up for the final 🤔
sad to see those empty stands
The final will be sold out. The Aussie sides just don’t sell. They need to step up.
@bgreen240 the Aussie side did step up, it’s the crowd that didn’t. How’s an Aussie team supposed to fill Eden Park? It’s the Blues ‘supporters’ who didn’t show
Why does it matter ? Stadium full or empty doesn’t change anything for rugby union overall.
99% of the fans are watching it at home on TV and that’s where all the money comes from.
Selling out a stadium doesn’t equal success for super rugby, Selling out a stadium equals eden park making more profit ,
@@MatW4606 Bums on seats is where the money's at and has always been at u don't know how many people have Sky TV but wat we do know is in 2003 the blues played the brumbies in a semi final at Eden park there wasn't an empty seat there at all and the atmosphere was pumping,now look,are u blind or something?

Ahh Auckland. No one knew a game was on. Even if they knew, they wouldnt go.
Agree, poor decision to schedule a Friday night wet winter game during rush hour traffic which brings Auckland to a standstill, why they couldnt play both semis on a Saturday would get larger crowds,,crazy decision
UP THE BLUES 💙💙💙💪💪 one more game next week in the final is not over yet boys
I’m also Irish and watching from Ireland - and amazed at the poor attendances. NZ rugby needs to get creative because it looks like the game is dying on its feet from a spectator interest perspective, even if it’s still producing great players. And smaller stadiums aren’t the answer - Leinster packed out the 80,500 capacity Croke Park (Gaelic football home) in Dublin for this year’s European Cup semi … and rugby here is about 3rd or 4th sport in spectator popularity. Love NZ rugby, it’s been world’s best for well over a century … but it’ll need to wise up to stay ‘with it’.
Arent Summer in Ireland nowday
?
Poor scheduling on a Friday night, Auckland traffic in the wet is a nightmare and the city comes to a stand still, you cant get to the stadium, its pathetic why both semis arent on the Saturday god knows, they should be.
How are these stadiums always so empty
Eden park is too big not to mention the weather was shite and Aucklanders are finicky anyways 👍
Folk are voting with their feet! There has been a growing discontent about the game and the way it's being officiated. And the NZRU refuse to address it!
21,000 still turned up, despite the weather conditions.
Crowd or not, the quality of this comp is amazing. I went to the English premiership final, the standard was poor, but, played to a full house. Most if not all super rugby teams would beat Northampton soundly and the top 4 would rout them. Can't wait for the next semi!!
UnboxRacing .At last someone that talks sense.Agree.Although the crowd attendance is poor, NZ super rugby teams are strong.Here in South Africa, some games like the Lions the attendance is even poorer.Still the Lions still played good rugby, and could beat any team here , dispite the empty stadium.
Yup munster only managed to scrape past the worst crusaders team in their entire super rugby history by 3 points. Cheifs, Blues, even Highlanders would easily beat Munster. NZ has always played a better standard of rugby. But the gap between the north and south has never been this close. That's thanks to all the northern teams are stacked with southern hemisphere players and coaching staff. But we can't deny that the northern hemisphere competition isn't a better competition as far as fan engagement goes. Sell out crowds pretty much every game. We are lucky if we sell out a home final nowadays.
Munster didnt field a full team either lots of young lads were playing....i love super rugby nd support the blues since i was a kid... they might beat Northampton but i dont think they would beat Leinster or Toulouse would be fun to watch tho
@@jimbokiwi9322 👌
@@robertcusack3212 it was the crusaders first preseason game without alot of their best players and and new coach in the Munsters backyard. Then they went on something around a 8 match losing streak. Previous crusaders team would of annihilated that Munster team and beaten any other club in the north. It gets proven time and time again when northern International teams come to NZ on tour and regularly get beaten by super teams and our maori sides.
2 of the blues tries looked from a forward pass. Also Clarke was off side on the restart when the yellow card happened.
Yes I was at the game and I saw that he was off side.
As usual it depends how closely one looks. All you wannabe referees tend to not look that closely. No try was scored from a forward pass. The first try was clearly from a lateral pass that bounced forward. This can be clearly seen from the ground level side on camera.
@@clarke1319pass was clearly a meter forward bounced two
@@user-cg3qi4fo4x geezzz. You people are impossible. As I said it depends how closely you are looking. You should try it. The only thing you got right is it bounced forward. Lam would need arms longer than he is tall to catch the ball if you think that bounced 2 metres forward. Just give it up will you.
@@clarke1319 clearly blind. He is standing 1m behind the 5m line when passing ball. Lands 1m past the 5m line.. doesn’t mater how close you look unless brother has 3 meter arms theres no way that was backwards.
I’ve got serious concerns about the state of rugby in NZ/AUS
is this the fan turnout that could be at Eden Park if the Chiefs beat the Hurricanes
Dont worry for nz and Australia with 2 great coaches like Razor and Schmidt !
I watched Brisbane vs south Sydney last night, it was empty and no body complains
There is so many other things to do nowadays, why pay $50+ to sit in the cold wet weather. Then pay $10+ for a drink and more for basic bite.
Damn right, as long as the action on the paddock is lively I don't mind.
Hurricane vs Blues final will be amazing game
Oh you've decided the final already have ya?still got a semi to play
Was hoping Chiefs v Brums 😪
Don’t jinx us man. As a Canes supporter, I don’t like to count the chickens until they’ve hatched…
@@sevenhelmets Yeah is he stating that final will be amazing or is he stating that the Chiefs are definitely gonna lose before they've even played?,must be related to nostradamus
don't count out chiefs out
It’s not the same anymore
The semis in English rugby could sell out twice over. Why on earth is this stadium so empty?
Agree, poor decision to schedule a Friday night wet winter game during rush hour traffic which brings Auckland to a standstill, why they couldnt play both semis on a Saturday would get larger crowds,,crazy decision
Everyone talking about empty stadiums, remember NZ only got TV 3 years ago, it's FLASH to sit at home and watch from the sofa, bro.
lets be honest. Super Rugby without South Africa sucks...
Definitely 🎉
Well the New Zealand Rugby board thought they we clever excluding us or voting us out or whatever happened, meanwhile we are drawing huge crowds for for the URC and European rugby so go figure, maybe they weren't as clever as they thought after all, by the way 4 more years boys 4 more years 😂😂😂
Absolutely!
@@neilleefon6894super rugby board is (was ) comprised of representatives from all the participating countries. It wasn’t NZs decision.
The super rugby board made the desicion together. From what Ive heard South Africa wanted to move to the UK for ease of travel and also cost. Was nothing to do with the fact that they hadn’t won a super rugby final since 2012 and were sick of getting thrashed every year.
@@MatW4606 noted
All these "lack of attendance in the stadiums" comments by people who never even turn up to the games...
How exciting for the 10 fans that were there. Super Rugby is a historical relic at this stage. Cue the kiwis with all the excuses for the poor turnout. Meanwhile Premier League fans travel across the UK to watch their teams play in snow!
Super rugby should just be named kiwi rugby
Go watch your premier league rugby.No one else cares !!
True, but the Hurricanes/Chiefs will be much tougher.
And so they should, after spending the last 100 years doing sweet fk all. They should be travelling into through rain, hail, sleet and shark tornadoes to see the games they missed over the last 79 years.
It's a massive stadium to be fair, even a regular turnout looks meagre
Crazy how people think the stadium was empty. I was there and it was by no means empty. Maybe 18,000? But stupidly they open 3 stands and fans are scattered throughout them. One blip was that the tickets were $60, very sad considering how expensive everything else is.
Sad to see so many comments about the attendance, so few about a brilliant preformance from the Blues
Vamos Brumbies 🐎❤🏉🇲🇽
Mean game been weeks since I watched one gotta shout the Blues a box each for smashing it up front might jump on the bandwagon lol go hard next week boys hope you win
Mean game my ass boring az hell
@@ManaBlack208 shut up lol you probably watch boring league lmao
@@ManaBlack208 nobody outside of nz and Aus gives a flying fk about league
@@francelewiss7030 Heaps of kiwis have jump ship to league drongo,advantage advantage 😒advantage advantage 🤮
Rugby league = run in straight line, tackle, repeat x 5 then kick. Give ball away to other team then they copy on repeat for 80 minutes
Wowwww so exciting
Why does Auckland hate rugby😂 $10 tickets for the kiddies couldn't even force them out.
Kids should be free or this game will die in couple generations
I’m perplexed as to how this game was referred. It seems the refs job now is incentivised to keep the flow of the game, turn blind eyes to errors that may slow the flow of game, but distribute leniency evenly. I don’t know if I like it but it does keep the game flowing
Come on canes in front of 30000 + at the cake tin
The chance seriously for the blues to win the super rugby !
Should never be a yellow card at 70 mins. Blues winger was 2m offside from the kick. I don’t see how this isn’t picked up
Regardless, doesn't give anyone the right to injure another player
@@icetroll734 I’m not saying it does. How cant the ref see he is offside at the kick, and then instantly call it. That would meant he collision/tackle wouldn’t happen.
Go cry about it.
@@azaleaheinrich9877 wow what a mature attitude you have. You have no idea who I support, but that shouldn’t matter when I am trying to talk about how the refs are not picking up basic infringements.
blues wanted it more, cup stays in nz now. roll on the next semi.
Welp, future ideas for SR would be:
- Affordable prices on tickets (free entry for the kiddos even), merch, food and drink
- Better marketing and advertising
- Scrap some if not all the new laws inspired by league and bring back the old ones.
- Free-to-air games on TV like previously (in Australia's case anyways).
But what the heck it's just my opinion where the action was alot more entertaining than the crowd attendance even though it was a bridge too far for the Brumbies.
Eddie Jones watching this and having a laugh 😂
Eddie Jones is a joke, his Wallabies couldn't even get out of pool play😂
Go the mighty blues 💙 ❤ the super rugby . NZ teams in the finals again too meke..😮😊
SEMI EMPTY Stadium. On the other hand, full house in the European rugby finals, URC and the premiership
20k for the Munster SF and the Bulls SF was not full either, 30k is good but their capacity is 55k
If this were a SFs in Suva or Lautoka with Drua there wouldn't be a empty seat on the embarkment/grandstand
No crowd?
nah, getting ready for tomorrow
There was
@lvkuza For the Warriors v Storm game?
The crowd of 200,000 people watching it on TV is what you don’t see. Those people are the fans that keep the sport alive and fund the rugby union.
Crowd doesn’t mean a thing
No interest kid.we have bigger fish to fry mate.superrugby is dead mate here? Fact
Do kiwis not care as much about their club footy? Looking from outside I'm perplexed, I've always looked up to NZ rugby. The quality is there but the passion seems to be off by a lot.
What's the go? Are the ticket prices too expensive?
It Auckland’s problem, not the rest of the country, they also competing with league which is on tomorrow night., here in Wellington it’s at 30 thousand plus for tomorrow’s afternoon game.
Even in South Africa , if the teams come play here and they are bottom feeders like Zebre for excample , the stadiums are empty , like just the family members of the players and the reserves.No one is interested.But, tomorrow Loftus will be packed, because they are playing a top team.People also dont want to go out, in the cold , like maybe in Auckland.And or, ticket prices.
@@sherisecooper4405 because kiwi rugby is dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The worlds changed and the fans are still there but they choose to watch at home on TV instead. That’s the way the world has become now . Doesn’t mean “rugby is dying”
It means rugby is evolving and changing much like the rest of the world
I wouldn’t worry unless the TV viewers dissapear, THATS when rugby would be dead and have no money
@@michaelmoynihan9591who said kiwi rugby is dying we are still the house power of union, why do you think the All blacks is considered the most successful rugby team in the world, it only dead in Aus because of league and afl
Can anyone explain why there were two champions in 2021?
Crusaders won Super Rugby Aotearoa (just NZ teams) and then they had another tournament afterwards called Super Rugby Trans Tasman (which the Blues won).
Had two tournaments because of all that lockdown nonsense
A few things we learned from the game:
1. Lolasia is not an international 10!! (Otherwise he would have played for the ABs! That goes for any player that is eligible for NZ)
2. The Brumbies weren’t good enough to win in NZ!
3. The referee had a shocker!
Isn't rugby the most popular sport in New Zealand? I don't understand why in a Super Rugby semi-final played at the capital city the stadium is half empty
Just watch the game not the stadium basstarddd😂😂😂
Empty Stadium, in south Fr@nce there's cities with 100k population that can pack a 20k stadium.
For the people confused about the the lack of spectatorship, lets point out the obvious. The game just sucks now. It's not fun to watch anymore. Arbitrary yellow yards for accidental contact to the head has ruined the sport, cause now people realise that unlucky bumps to the face can change the entire result. There's no common sense in how the game is controlled anymore
I'm from SA, you guys will know, what happened with the Crusaders?
Blues vs chiefs final
Yeah g agree that would be mean
Would be a home final for the Blues, but it probably still wouldn't sell out. The Auckland public sucks when it comes to supporting their sports teams.
@@khankake9576 neh just boring rugby union
@@khankake9576up the wahs
Blues vs canes.
Super Rugby needs a complete overhaul... judging by crowd attendance..
Counter rucking have become so difficult lately. How ever will a ball be turn over in a ruck ?
Did not see this result any other way and the Blues will be champs.
Crowd is shockingly small. Nz supporters taking the sport for granted
Ref did real well with only a few hiccups. No wonder why himself and Angus are reffing the finals.
😂 your kidding right!?
Super Rugby is dying, the attendance at this “semi-final” confirms it
This is because of refrees taking the flavour of rugby.after what they didi to drua.
Attendance 👀
Should have been a Saturday afternoon game .
Allows people to get to the game
Why wasn't Clarke taken off for either of the two clear head knocks he took in the game? The 2nd one (Brumbies YC) looked pretty bad. It's just so inconsistent. A card is given for dangerous play because a player hit his head, but that player doesn't get checked for concussion? MIMS.
If they moved that game to eurooe the crowds would be bigger with no real supporters
Blues had to only play the first 25 minutes at full tilt and then take off the gas. It was always going to be that type of game.
Yeah when All black are playing different story it will be 50 thousand plus at Eden. Rugby still number 1
Exactly, the All Blacks themselves always bring a full house
I don't wanna see the ABs full of Blues.
Wow what a disappointing semi, not even competitive
Only one team on the field. What happened to Super Rugby, there is nothing super with semi final 🤔😔
What a pathetic attendance
The reality is that TV knows league will draw a bigger crowd and hopefully sitting at home thus the other semi final is not in prime time
Porqué durante todo el torneo los estadios no se llenan y hay lados completamente vacíos? Entradas muy caras? Falta de interés?
Good result for the Blues who were too strong physically.
Ooff should have booked a bigger stadium. Is it that miserable back home? 😂 #cheersauntycindy
Like watching paint dry, this is not a Super Rugby comp…the one I used to watch involving Saffer teams and proper match ups was when this was a real comp🙄
Surely you at least watched the other SF
The players are garbage now
Another coulda shoulda woulda from the Aus teams…
They're a bloody joke those aussies can't even win their own lineouts and restarts,must be hard being a rugby supporter in Australia
who's winning tomorrow's match?
So both stadiums in NZ was pretty much empty. Why is that? It's Semifinal. Do people really don't care about top domestic league in that part of the world? Or the culture is to just watch it on TV? I wonder if Mitre 10 cup attracts more spectators to the stadium.
Justice. Julle wil mos!
Since when did deliberately playing a player in the air with the player landing dangerously only become a yellow card?
No one leaves Auckland alive🫡
Reckon the last years world cup dropped the interest in rugby as shown by those empty seats. When fans watch a game knowing that the referee's interpretation is going to be the deciding factor in close games it's no longer a sport.
compare this to europe club semifinals, disapointing!!
The bulls leinster match was test match quality. This is garbage
30 thousand plus at sky stadium today
And what happened 😂😂😂😂
Bloody officials and the associations ruin everything for the fans
That's why there's more empty chairs..
My team can't play like this in the final. The Chiefs will cut our gonads.
Blues were cruising for most of this game. Brumbies just completely outmatched physically for long stretches. Perofeta was again a mixed blessing: some lovely touches but a couple of real brain farts along with them. He's definitely got talent but shouldn"t really be in the All Blacks conversation, not seriously. His decision making is too impulsive, his kicking game is ordinary and hus tendency to run rapidly into space and then just as rapidly run out of ideas makes him as much a liability as an asset.
This one is for little Michael Moynihan!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah Mike's a weirdo bro he's actually an Irish man posing as a aussie he's still hurting from the world cup exit no aussie is that negative towards us kiwis he's hurting bad a strange paddy he is

Does not surprise me the brumbies losing.
🔵🔵🔵
Yawn. The URC is so much more exciting! Sad to see how far NZ rugby has fallen
go the chiefs!
That’s a red card all day long in the new rules.
Sad state of super rugby ,coupled with rule changes softening the game even more and to many complicated rules where there is no focus whatsoever to let the game flow freely, its killing the game ,refs are blowing the whistle for almost every little thing making it more boring and lackluster, world rugby needs to get rid of some unnecessary laws
I hate how i know if a team is defending inside the 22 that their will be a 99% chance the attacking team will get a penalty everytime. I put my stop watch on
@@ShaquilleOatmeal730yep definitely bro ,its almost guaranteed they will get it
Last night south Sydney vs Brisbane Broncos play at empty stadium, nobody complains sheez
Pity the first try for the Blues had a pass that went forward.
