Ah right, I get you. I watch all the games at the Magic Weekend, as for me, it was £30 for the two days to watch 7 games. Why not! Enjoyed them all, apart from the Catalans-Quins game. That was a shocker!

I'm 100% for expansion, both because I'm a Crusaders supporters, but also because the game needs it, but by holding a Magic Weekend event without marketing it as well as it could be, isn't going to make a difference. I spoke to quite a few locals in Cardiff and they didn't know about it. Plus, I think Wales Rugby Union were playing on the same day, so people in South Wales are going to be out watching that on the Saturday. For me, a Magic Weekend should be played much closer to the heartlands area.
