average weekend crowd for union's blue riband competition so far is a little over 6,500.
the challenge cup (thieves! ) is just under 7,000, helped by a 12k+ crowd at northampton.
still no SBW for toulon.

He should just suck it up, take the 2 year ban on the chin and use it as a opportunity to get properly fit and train like a proper athlete. Boo-hoo...

Tough times for ARU : Fri Jan 30, 2009 6:19 am  

I don't know how Dr Goebbels successors at the Australian RU are going to explain this one away. http://www.rugbyheaven.com.au/news/news/sharing-the-pain/2009/01/29/1232818610085.html THE realities of the global financial crisis have not gone unnoticed in the Wallabies' dressing room, with players yesterday voting to accept a cut in Test match fees. Captain Stirling Mortlock said players were willing to take a hit to their pockets because they knew Australian Rugby Union officials had also accepted a cut in salaries and directors' fees. "Everyone is affected by this," the Brumbies centre said. "It reflects the ARU's policy that everyone is in this together. The public side of the ARU is the playing group but just as important to how we function are the people in admin. Everyone across the board has had to tighten up. Less pay all round, lower level competitions scrapped and $8 million down the gurgler for the year. And yet we heard of nothing but constant success in front of packed crowds in the reports coming from them last year?
