My home team Edinburgh trying to knock the only unbeaten team of the URC down a peg on Saturday, and a mouth watering Irish clash Friday night!
Anyone off to see any this weekend?
There is a semi-permanent stadium behind Murrayfield now for 7.5K. So it must have been pretty busy. Edinburgh used to regularly struggle to break 4
But we’re now 3 from 4 and so crowds might well stay this season!
Oh right, so they’d only put a URC game in Murrayfield if it was a big one like a playoff where the extra capacity is warranted?
One thing that was kinda cool about the NPC this year is the bigger unions that have struggled to fill their Super Rugby / International sized stadiums were forced to play games elsewhere because of the FIFA Womens World Cup taking over those stadiums. It made a lot more sense having NPC sized crowds in smaller grounds including a return to the Onewa Domain for the Battle of the Bridge this year. That ground hadn’t hosted a match that big in 30 years.
