I have no idea how many subs RP will get, and make no predictions.
However, in the UK alone there are million of rugby fans...and nobody but RP is broadcasting there.
£35 works out to be £3.18 per week.
Is it ridiculous to think that a sizeable chunk of the rugby fans in the UK would be prepared to pay 3 quid a week to subscribe to the tournament? I don't think it is.
And then there are 99 additional countries to consider...

A sizeable number would subscribe to a local UK tournament - I think the amount who would subscribe to a NZ tournament is probably quite a bit less than that. I would compare it to what percentage of NZ rugby viewers would subscribe to a foreign rugby tournament if Sky didn't screen them? I would guess the number would be 1-2%.

We will soon see how popular the tournament is to the rest of the world.
The only thing I would add to your comments is that the 5 NZ teams who participate in SR Aotearoa are the best super rugby teams in the world. I believe it is 'must see rugby' to many fans overseas - and especially in the UK (who are probably as rugby mad as NZ).
I could be wrong about that, in which case NZR and Sky won't do very well at all. Let's see.

I agree that our SR teams are excellent. However I find I have little interest in watching our boys knock the stuffing out of each other over and over again. It gets boring. Of course that is just me !

Will be interesting to see what happens post-SR Aotearoa - with either the Trans-tasman comp starting, or if the there is no travel bubble then that gets cancelled/delayed and apparently the back-up plan is for another round robin of SR Aotearoa (presumably they would shift the planned final).

At least Aaron is sticking around.
Maybe NZR could afford his pay raise after the cash started rolling in from RugbyPass...

Well, RP is never going to be much of 'a thing' primarily selling rugby to places like Afghanistan and Cambodia.
So let's hope this proves a new commercial model to mainstream audiences for the rugby unions, and is the beginning of something special for RP.
