Justin Marshall: New Zealanders 'switch off' when Australian sides play in 'unhealthy' Super Rugby Pacific

  • All Blacks great Justin Marshall insists that the performances of the Australian franchises are vital if Super Rugby Pacific is going to be a success in 2025. The New Zealand sides have dominated the various Super Rugby guises over recent years with 2014 the last time a team outside of the country won it.

The article discusses former All Blacks scrum-half Justin Marshall's critique of the current state of Super Rugby Pacific, particularly focusing on the lack of interest from New Zealand fans when Australian teams play. Marshall points out that the competition has lost its appeal, with viewership numbers dropping significantly, especially during matches involving Australian sides. He attributes this decline to several factors including the departure of South African teams, which he believes added a competitive edge to the tournament. Additionally, Marshall highlights the poor performance and lack of competitiveness from Australian teams, suggesting that the imbalance in competition quality has led to disengagement among fans. He also mentions the broader issues within Australian rugby, like the Wallabies' poor performance in international rugby, which further diminishes the interest in Super Rugby Pacific.
