  • Analysing Rugby Game Attendance at Selected Smaller Unions in South Africa
    Analysing rugby game attendance at selected smaller unions in South Africa by PAUL HEYNS 12527521 B.Com (Hons), NGOS Mini-dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Business Administration at the Potchefstroom Business School of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof. R.A. Lotriet November 2012 Potchefstroom ABSTRACT Rugby union is being viewed and played by millions of people across the world. It is one of the fastest growing sport codes internationally and with more countries emerging and playing international and national games, the supporter attendance is crucial to the game. The rugby industry is mostly formal, with an international body controlling the sport globally and a governing body in each country to regulate the sport in terms of rules and regulations. These bodies must adhere to the international body’s vision and mission to grow the sport and to steer it in the correct direction. This study focuses on rugby game attendance of selected smaller unions in South Africa. Valuable information was gathered describing the socio- economic profile and various preferences and habits of supporters attending rugby games. This information forms the basis for future studies to honour the people that support their unions when playing rugby nationally or internationally. The research was conducted through interviews with influential administrators within the rugby environment and questionnaires that were distributed among supporters that attended a Leopard and Puma game. The main conclusions during the study were the failure to attract supporters to the Leopards and the Pumas local matches. The supporters list various reasons for poor supporter attendances namely: a lack of marketing, no entertainment, the quality of the teams that are competing, and the time-slots in which the matches take place.

  • Cheetahs Want to Repay the Hospitality
    14 September 2017 • [email protected] • www.bloemfonteincourant.co.za PROMOTION • PROMOSIE 1 Cheetahs want to Bloemfontein slaggereed repay the hospitality vir Pro 14 JERETHA OOSTHUIZEN [email protected] Harold Verster, uitvoerende hoof van die Vrystaat Cheetahs, sê die stad, die toeskouers, die borge en die spelers is slaggereed vir die eerste tuiswedstryd van die Pro 14-reeks wat Saterdag 16 September om 19:30 in Bloemfontein afskop. “Die Guinness Pro 14-toernooi wek vir seker ’n positiewe gevoel by die mense. Selfs toe ek ’n vergardering oor die Pro 14 in Londen bygewoon het, was die mense opgewonde. Ons het goeie nuwe vriende gemaak en het selfs mense wat wil kom kuier, ontmoet,” sê Verster. Verster maak dit duidelik dat die Pro 14 op’n baie hoër vlak as die Super Rugby-toernooi gespeel word en dat die manne vinnig sal moet aanpas. “Ek dink ons het die Pro 14-toernooi onderskat. Dit sou ideaal wees as die Cheetahs ’n jaar se voorbereiding gehad het, maar ek verstaan ons sou dan heelwat spelers verloor het. Hulle moes aanpas teen die spoed van wit lig, maar hul sal vir seker hul voete die naweek op hul tuisveld vind. “Ons het nou klaar die twee monsterspanne, Munster en Ulster, in die Pro 14 gespeel en ek A few of the players that we will be seeing in action during the Guinness Pro14: (L-R) Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Tiernan O’Halloran (Connacht), dink van hier kan ons moontlik die lig begin CJ Stander (Munster), Dan Lydiate (Ospreys), Ryan Wilson (Glasgow Warriors), Tommaso Castello (Zebre) and Niell Jordaan (Toyota Cheetahs) PHOTO: BILLY STICKLAND sien.

    Truro School & the Rugby World Cup John Kendall Carpenter (1925 – 1990) In February 1991 the Former Pupils Newsletter recorded that John Kendall Carpenter had died suddenly at his home in May at the age of 64. John was a leading figure in the world of Rugby Union. He made 28 appearances for the County, a number of them as Captain, three Oxford Blues, captained England for whom he played 23 times. He was Chairman of the steering committee which organised the game’s first World Cup in 1987 and was in charge of organising the World Cup competition to be played in Britain and France this year. In 1981 he was made a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedd and his services to rugby were officially recognised in 1989 when he was appointed a CBE. A memorial service was held in Truro Cathedral in which Harvey Richards (TS1937-42) gave the address. ‘One of the truly ‘great’ names in world John Kendall Carpenter rugby. ‘Carps’ won 23 England caps (TS 1939-1943) and Ken James (TS English & RE (1949-1954), and was also a legendary teacher & rugby master, Oxford University Blue and Barbarian. 1942-1971) at one of the 1980 school centenary He served as President of the England celebrations RFU (1980-1981), the England Schools Rugby Football Union (1985-1990), and Cornwall RFU (1984-1987).

  • Using Match Attractiveness Measures to Evaluate the Structure of the Currie Cup
    Using Match Attractiveness Measures to Evaluate the Structure of the Currie Cup KRIGE SIEBRITS AND JOHAN FOURIE Stellenbosch Economic Working Papers: 16/08 KEYWORDS: ECONOMICS OF SPORT LEAGUES, COMPETITIVE BALANCE, MATCH ATTRACTIVENESS, RUGBY UNION, CURRIE CUP JEL: L83 KRIGE SIEBRITS JOHAN FOURIE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH PRIVATE BAG X1, 7602 PRIVATE BAG X1, 7602 MATIELAND, SOUTH AFRICA MATIELAND, SOUTH AFRICA E-MAIL: [email protected] E-MAIL: [email protected] A WORKING PAPER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS AND THE BUREAU FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF STELLENBOSCH 1 Using Match Attractiveness Measures to Evaluate the Structure of the Currie Cup KRIGE SIEBRITS AND JOHAN FOURIE1 ABSTRACT Recent remarks in the media suggest that the Currie Cup competition, the premier rugby union competition in South Africa, is in need of a revamp. This is not a new inclination; the structure of the Currie Cup has had numerous alterations over the preceding two decades. But why has the Currie Cup suddenly lost its glamour? Existing measures of competitive balance used in the economics of sports literature are found to be unsatisfactory for rugby union competitions. Using a new measure of match attractiveness, this paper shows that the existing Currie Cup performs poorly compared to the top rugby union competitions across the world. 21 years of Currie Cup rugby are assessed to determine which structure yields the most attractive rugby. It is found that it is not the number of matches or the format of the competition that determines the “attractiveness”, but rather how many teams participate.
