Yeah, I think we've seen a real shift probably in the last 18 months.

I think, you know, we've been on a journey, which you've been a part of, Jip, since probably 2002 to focus on the improvement of our core product.

So what happens between the white stripes every game.

Um, in the last sort of 15 months and really coming to the fore this season is what happens in and around that in stadiums.

Um, and the clubs are just doing such great work there to make sure that the experience is more than just about, you know, the great rugby that gets played in super rugby Pacific, that the live experience has something for everyone.

And so, um,

Yeah, if you were lucky enough to go out to Eden Park or have been out in the last couple of rounds, you know, there's great stuff for families and kids down one end of the field.

There's the corner, which is all about, you know, entertaining, you know, the younger sort of uni set, if you like, or the teens that want DJs and there's a spa bath and, you know, the light show and the lights and the laser that went on and the performance.

Yeah.

there's so much more happening in and around our stadiums now.

And yeah, I think, you know, again, just encourage people that haven't been out for a while to a super game to get out because, you know, the product is unbelievable, which you're going to talk about.

But everything else going on around it is, is a real, is a real thrill as well.

You know, I think it's a broader view of who we're appealing to.

You know, we know there are, you know, code heads, as you guys like to call them, that listen to this pod and love chatting about lightning quick ball and all of that.

But there are people that just want a great night out or a great afternoon out, right?

They want to be entertained.

They want to do something with their friends on a weekend.

And, you know, we really want to take that broader sort of lens to it because, you know, there are so many people that we can engage with and get them into a stadium.

and entertain them.

You know, hopefully that brings them into rugby and, and hopefully, you know, after, after coming to, you know, maybe three or four home games that we get them in and we get them loving talking about, you know, loving talking about possession and territory and all, all the great things that go in the background of our game.
