Hurricanes to boost Super 14 preparations by playing Aussie Rules

Aaron only the Sydney and Brisbane media would be interested in a story like this being the main states which are into rugby union. To be honest, people in most other states wouldn't have a clue who the Hurricanes are - they might watch the Wallabies occasionally, but aren't interested in club rugby.

I am not at all suprised. Consider that these states would only be interested in an Australian Football story if a) it was during AFL season and b) if the Sydney Swans/Brisbane Lions are still in the finals race. Neither is the case.

The rest of the footy states are generally not interested in printing rugby stories. Since the Australian Rugby Chamipionship flopped and folded last year, rugby is without any genuine presence or pathway in most states.

The possible exception of Perth who are the only footy city with a Super 14 side - Western Force. Though the WA media are typically more interested in stories involving South Africa and NZ is a bit far away from them to really care.
