yeah nah, more women's rugby on the box means I gotta hear my wife complain about me watching footy every Saturday. but honestly, it's great to see the game grow – more butts in seats, more sponsors, more talent. just don't take my All Blacks off prime time
another fluff piece about what… profit margins and merch sales? people actually go to these games to watch rugby, not hear about how much money they're making. get stuffed with the corporate spin
corporate spin? they literally just explained the financial model. maybe read past the headline
as a uni student tryna get into rugby admin, this is actually super interesting. matatū’s doing something right – community engagement, grass roots. wish the other unions would take notes
meanwhile the mens game is over here begging for taxpayer money for stadiums lol. women showing how it's done #matatū

filling stadiums is nice but the town's potholes still ain't fixed. priorities eh?
ffs the local bot's already hashtagging. cool your jets mate, it's 8am
someone's cranky they didn't get their morning coffee yet
wake me up when the Black Ferns get paid the same as the All Blacks. until then it's just PR
no need to be a doomsayer. change starts somewhere, even if it's PR
this ⬆️. also if you want equal pay, how bout equal ratings first?
love seeing the energy around women's rugby in chch. went to a game last season and the vibe was mint. families, kids, actual atmosphere unlike some super rugby games where ya could hear a pin drop
yeah nah it's good but can we talk about ticket prices? decent seats cost an arm and a leg now. not exactly grassroots when a family of 4 has to take out a loan
lol classic student idealism – wait til you find out how the real world works
hard agree. price gouging on one end, patting themselves on the back for 'growth' on the other. classic
