The Western Australia city of Perth is in danger of losing future Test matches unless more fans start turning up to games, Australian media reported on Saturday.

Perth has been staging rugby internationals since 1998, including matches in the 2003 World Cup, but an Australian Rugby Union official told the Sydney Morning Herald that a Test match between Australia and South Africa this month could decide the city’s future when their contract ends next year.

“This is an important Test match against South Africa. If Perth wants to stay on the Test match schedule, they had better show up,” the official said.
