Thanks again, It is certainly an interesting season ahead with the new format to the expanded Guinness PRO14 and some mouth-watering ties in Europe. 4 Wales’ Capital Region | www.cardiffblues.com | Tickets: 02920 302030 Wales’ Capital Region | www.cardiffblues.com | Tickets: 02920 302030 5 Welcome to a grounding-breaking Championship season in the newly christened Guinness PRO14 where an historic chapter will be written after the arrival of the Toyota Cheetahs and the Southern Kings from South Africa. After a season where Scarlets took home the final Championship title of the 12-team era, news of our expansion has only further whetted the appetite to see the action kick off. We’ve brought in a new conference system to enable us to add the Cheetahs and the Kings, while reducing the number of regular season rounds – down from 22 to 21 – and we’ve expanded the Guinness PRO14 Final Series with six teams now qualifying. That means your team has an even greater chance of reaching the knock-outs and emulating Scarlets’ sensation title win. We’ve also retained all of our existing Derby games which are sacrosanct to our clubs, players and, most importantly, the fans. We’ve also worked closely with our unions to schedule those Derbies away from in- ternational windows, too. Like you, we want to see the best players in the best games because we are hugely proud of the 295 Internationals who played in the Champion- ship last season, not to mention the 26 called up for the British & Irish Lions tour. As for our new arrivals, the Cheetahs and the Kings, these are teams whose approach to the game should fit in seamlessly with our Championship. Both teams like to play fast, attacking rugby and given that our tournament boasts some of the best Positive Play statistics across Europe we know they’ll be right at home. You only have to look at our recent champions in Scarlets, Connacht, Glasgow Warriors and Leinster to see they type of adventurous rugby it takes to win our title. Looking back to the previous campaign we saw a record number of tries scored (711) while crowds were up and nowhere was that more evident than at the Final at Aviva Stadium. A new record attendance of 45,566 witnessed Scarlets’ scintillating play prove too much for Munster in a game that showcased the attacking calibre of our Cham- pionship. That’s one of the reasons that makes it so exciting to bring the first ever Guinness PRO14 Final to Dublin on May 26, 2018. I’m also delighted to say we will again implement an Early Bird offer for fans who de- cide to back their teams and buy their tickets well in advance on www.ticketmaster.ie where prices start from €5 for Children and €30 for adults. I also want to thank Guinness for their continued title sponsorship of the Champion- ship while Gilbert and Macron have joined Specsavers as official partners and we’re delighted to have them. Our Championship gets terrific support from our broad- casters – Sky Sports, BBC Wales, BBC Northern Ireland, BBC ALBA, S4C and TG4 – and it’s fantastic to be working alongside them as we tell the story of this historic season ahead. Finally, I’d like to wish all our players, coaches, clubs and referees good luck for the season ahead as they make this Championship what it is for you as a fan.

  • 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.

  • Rabodirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 ROUND 15 PREVIEWS ROUND 15 FIXTURES
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 15: 20th – 23rd February 2014 ROUND 15 PREVIEWS With the international weekend kicking off on Friday night, the majority of the RaboDirect PRO12 games take place on Sunday, however Cardiff Blues open round 15 with their game against current champions, Leinster at the Arms Park on Thursday evening and if past form is any guide Cardiff will have their work cut out to claim victory in this match. The sole game on Saturday is also in Wales with Edinburgh Rugby visiting Llanelli to play Scarlets, who missed out last round due to the weather in Belfast. The Scots do not travel well, so Scarlets must be hoping to put their own home record back on track in this fixture. The remaining four games take place on Sunday, with a TV double header in Italy, Benetton Treviso hosting Ulster and Zebre facing another Irish province, Connacht. Connacht’s victory over Edinburgh last time out saw them swap places with Zebre at the foot of the table, which could be reversed if Zebre claim this tie. Ulster on the other hand will be hoping they can make up some ground on the teams above them in the Play-Off zone. At the same time the remaining two Welsh regions will be in action in the principality. Newport Gwent Dragons opponents’ Glasgow Warriors, currently sit in 4th place in the table courtesy of one more win than Ulster, and still have two games in hand over the three teams above them.
