Last year we took a quick look to see how NZ Rugby Unions were fairing on the social media front , so 6 months later we see how they are going:
Highlights are:
- Otago continue to have the Highest Percentage % per capita over all NZ Unions liking their FB Page
- Wanganui have ousted King Country to take the top spot of page likes for the Heartland unions.
- East Coast leads the Heartland unions for the % per capita category while been now 2nd overall for NZ Unions
- Auckland has the most page likes with 122,837
