The Crusaders take on the Chiefs in the Super Rugby final held in Christchurch tomorrow night.  

With nearly half the games decided by 7 points or less, the recent games have been tight and entertaining, leading to a boost in viewer numbers. 

Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley says, 'law innovation’ and ‘close games and unexpected results’ have helped Super Rugby gain its recent boost in audience. 

Crowd numbers are also up by 6% this year, despite fewer games. This increase is expected to continue next year.
