Thanks, mate.

Thanks for having me.

I mean, I think in a number of ways, I'm really happy.

When we sat down at the start of the year, we wanted to achieve a few things and largely those things have come to fruition.

A couple of those things were we wanted to continue to see improvement in our shape of game.

uh in terms of you know the quality of the rugby played on the field and how entertaining that is for fans and we see some really good moves in that um we've seen a reduction in dead time by about three minutes the law innovations we've put in play have helped generate that and also brought some interest into it we're seeing still a high number of tries but with some really exciting rugby so from a shape of game point of view we're really happy with the direction of that

Off the field, our number one focus was all about crowds and bums on seats, which we know we've seen some growth, some small growth over the last couple of years, and we wanted to continue on that growth.

And we've seen that play out, and all five New Zealand clubs are going to post some really pleasing attendance results this season, showing good double-digit growth in New Zealand, which we're really happy with.

So, you know, obviously that's Christchurch are doing.

There's wonderful things going on in Christchurch, but we're also seeing really good growth in Auckland with the Blues, in Wellington with the Canes, the Highlanders and the Chiefs as well.

In that space, we're really pleased.

One of the other big initiatives that we had was SuperRound.

We wanted to get SuperRound back in the calendar and deliver a great event, and clearly we did that.

So, yeah, in a number of ways, really, really pleased with how the season's gone and excited to be at this point now with some great finals ahead of us.

It's really simple.

We measure how many times those turnstiles tick over and we see if we're growing.

And we are.

As I said, across New Zealand, the five clubs have grown at greater than 10%.

I don't have the specific numbers as in what they were to what they are in front of me here today.
