Fantastic ratings for the wallabies last night - 700k on FTA and a further 190k on Foxtel. Superb numbers for a dead rubber on a Saturday night
Surely the lesson learnt here is that people will watch the wallabies in large numbers if it has clear air from the afl and nrl? I know that the RC has to necessary be played in august and september but why not play the Australian home games (and northern hemisphere team tour matches) on a Sunday evening when the afl/nrl rounds are over? Melb, adel and Perth rated 145k collectively last night on fta. From memory the wallabies earlier matches weren't rating much higher than that nationally on metro fta
