Pacific Championship television ratings looking exceptionally good.

Papua New Guinea's 22-10 upset win over Fiji at Suva’s HFC Bank Stadium achieved a reach of 839,000 on free-to-air. It outperformed the second Test between the Wallabies and South Africa in Perth in August and the second Bledisloe Cup match in Wellington.

Figures show the Bati-Kumuls match secured a 40 per cent audience increase on the opening Pacific Bowl game in 2023.

Australia’s 18-0 win over Tonga at Suncorp Stadium secured a reach of 1.54 million compared to 1.24 million for the first Bledisloe Cup match in Sydney, with league’s national average of 698,000 dwarfing rugby union’s 477,000.

The second Bledisloe Cup match had a national average of just 283,000. The two-Test Bledisloe national average was 380,000. These figures are based on reach and national average audience and do not include subscription Fox or Stan.

Australia versus Tonga surpassed one million total viewers on free-to-air and subscription, a sharp increase of 49 per cent on the corresponding game last year between the Kangaroos and Samoa.

It was the most watched Kangaroo game since the 2017 Anzac Test against New Zealand.

International game doing wonders.

Pacific Championships update:

The Kangaroos are in the Pacific Cup final at CommBank Stadium on November 10 with a 22-10 defeat of New Zealand in Christchurch and will now wait to see who wins between the Kiwis and Tonga game played on Saturday 2 November in Auckland.

In the women's tournament, Australia has also locked in a place in the Pacific Cup final and will meet the winner of next Sunday’s Orchids (PNG) -Kiwi Ferns match at Santos Stadium.

Australian Rugby Union might get better TV ratings if they won a game from time to time. Australia has not won the Bledisloe Cup series since 2002, that is 22 years ago. It is bloody embarrassing to our nation.

I reckon that the Kangeroos would have a better chance of beating the All Blacks, than the Wallabies.
