[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 843731, member: 12190"] I used to watch a lot of super rugby but just haven't in the last two years, through general business not design. Tuned into the Crusaders against the Highlanders and was just amazed by how theatrical it all was. It was clearly a conscious decision to try and increase the breadth of appeal to a wider range of consumers to keep the thing marketable and profitable. However I just found it quite oppressive, the music absolutely all the time, even for tiny tiny pauses. So I just wondered, is this completely standardised across all home venues now or are there large differences in the implementation of this from club to club? Super rugby is still incredible fun to watch and I actually like the theatrically of the commentary, which to be fair has always been there in Australasian commentators to a good degree more than their northern hemisphere counterparts. Overall though I could have done without this being made into a big party with rugby almost being an accoutrement. I can accept however this might just be a reflection of how ****ing boring we are up north when it comes to rugby, with our dull kits, conservative philosophy and nauseating commentary! [/QUOTE]
