Saturday night’s Super Rugby final is set to break Australia’s 104 year old provincial attendance.

That mark will now be eclipsed on Saturday night, along with the national record for a provincial match, set in 1907 when 49,327 turned out to watch NSW play the All Blacks.

Suncorp Stadium's capacity is 52,000 and a sell out ensures a second capacity crowd in Brisbane this week following Wednesday night’s rugby league State of Origin decider between Queensland and NSW.

Reds host the Crusaders on Saturday at 9.40pm.
