I know there has been talk about the lack of defence last night but I thought it was a great game with some excellent tries from both teams. 90k is good but we need to build on that. Skill level has definitely gone up a level

Uncertainty over the team might have effected the sales late in the week.
Why was it scheduled for Sunday?
Did nobody consider the Test match next week and having time to rest players?
This shows how inept the Wallabies are.
SANZAAR run the Super Rugby schedule; RA the inbound NH Tests. They may not have the same interests completely, and they seemingly don't talk well to each other! Not sure the Wallabies are to blame!

Certainly, not the Wallabies at fault, but I am sure RA could have had some influence had they been awake to the issue from early on. I don't think SANZAAR act from their own sense of propriety or fair play when they schedule a bye week for the SA conference a week before the test window.
Pass it to Dunning!

I think you're overstating how much of a draw David Pocock is. The team was named days ago. Ticket sales were bad because Canberra is bored of the Brumbies and totally disinterested in the Sunwolves.

Brums v Sunwolves didn't make the top 20 programs on Sunday, so rated less than 36k

I realise SANZAAR make the draw, but do they decide the times of games?
Why couldn't the Brumbies play on Saturday and not have this issue?
Dunno. But I know “the Wallabies “ is not the answer!

Just to be clear SANZAAR make the draw in consultation with every team, the national unions (who are SANZAAR) and the broadcasters.

Brumbies like afternoon games at this time of year don't they?

From everything I’ve read over the years I’m positive the ARU ask Super Rugby teams to submit their preferred time slots. Most nominate at least one afternoon game, continuing the myth that oz rugby fans go crazy for arvo footy maaaate. When in fact all evidence points to the opposite conclusion

Afternoon games are more likely to attract families with young kids, though? Or grandparents taking their grandkids? Anything that gets kids to the games is a good thing, surely?

If I lived in Canberra, I'd probably want to see a rugby match in hope that sun will keep the temperature in the double digits compared to the frosty evenings.....

If the game kick off was an hour earlier (3pm) I would say yes. But knowing its a 6pm game finish on a back-to-school night its really not that great for kids or families in general and by that time (6pm) the temp has plunged.
