@lazarus the destruction of @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy & @Tim_Riggins is taking place here.

@Tim_Riggins is currently trying to scramble together obscure metrics to hide to abysmal viewership for the Pro 12.

Is the pro 12 shown on tv?

pro 12?

Shown on TG4 , gets less than half the viewers of a national league game on the same channel

:joy:

Of course, the lads are only interested in using international games in big tournaments to measure against GAA.

I think he means the PRO14 mate.

Course it doesnt. Who ever argued rugby was bigger than the GAA?

Hurling is now officially the most popular sport in the land, more than twice as popular as soccer. The figures are there for all to see and they are indisputable. Rugby will always have it’s elitist fanbase have but I’m actually concerned about the future of association football in this country

A peak audience of 1.1million watched Galway claim the All-Ireland SHC title on Sunday, making it RTE’s most watched programme of 2017 so far.
The average audience was 901,500 which meant that 73% of people watching television in Ireland at the time were tuned in to The Sunday Game Live on RTÉ2.

By comparison the Republic of Ireland’s soccer World Cup game against Georgia had an average audience of just 486,000 a day earlier on RTÉ2.

In fairness @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy has a different set of figures.

Oh people can come up with statistics to prove anything Kent
