2. ASSUMPTION FOR SOCIETAL  ASSUMPTION: I assume that the media coverage in this year’s world cup will be far greater than previous years due to how technology has developed.

3. FIRST SPEECH FACTOR: SOCIETAL - SELF  The first sociological factor I will be using is societal. This is a media based factor and is how the people were connected to the world cup or how they kept up with it through media and how it developed over many years. This factor impacts me because it keeps me connected and up to date with the Rugby World cup. I personally love following the world cup games and the players in the world cup because I am a huge rugby fan. This year, 2015 has so far been the best year of media coverage ever and I feel this is due to technological development and social media. Nearly 10 million people worldwide watched the opening ceremony for the Rugby World cup with an average of 8.7 Million viewers per game. There is also a rugby world cup channel that receives 181 million views and a Facebook page that has surpassed 3 million views with an official rugby world cup video that has nearly hit 2 million views.  http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/news/94041

4. SELF  The speech factor of Societal impacts me because I will not be able to keep up with the sport and love easily if the media coverage was not as active. I would have to see the game live on T.V or watch the replays to know the score as appose to just searching it up on the internet or finding out through social media. The way rugby has been broadcasted not only through T.V but also through the internet and social media keeps me connected with the teams and all the news of the world cup and the more you are connected the more you can enjoy the world cup. Rugby fans can be a part of the action and the media coverage unlike any other Rugby World Cups before.

5. SOCIETAL - OTHERS  The societal speech factor affects others by them also being connected with the game especially if they are a rugby fan. This speech factor is all about media and how it produces the rugby games and how it is shared and the different ways it is shared. This could mean through several different ways like T.V, the news, online and on social media. The most common source of media for teenage rugby fans now a days is through the internet, I had asked 10 people and 8 of them had said they were notified that there was a game coming up or when the world cup actually started through social media and the internet. Also, 9/10 people I had asked said yes to whether or not the media coverage will be easily accessible over this world cup. The media is connecting more and more people to the game due to how easy it is to support the World Cup or your specific team.

7.  The Historical speech factor affects other people by the knowing of New Zealand's rugby history and why the Rugby World Cup is so significant to NZ. Knowing NZ’s history of how well they have done in the past and the
