And fast, they love their RL.In that wet cold windy game today, yet still 20,000 turned up. I wonder how many more would've turned up if it was a nice day..Just when are the NRL going to wake up and admit a team from wellington??





Love to see two kiwi sides playing in a derby would be massive for the game,wish the NRL would wake up quick FFS.

It was in Christchurch

same lol

same language different island!





Didn't think the stadium looked crash hot. Seemed to be a long way from the action, is it an oval?

yeah seen a cricket game from there



southern orcas planned to split games between wellington and christchurch



wellington is an oval too

don;t the RU teams have any decent grounds or do they play out of the ovals?

the auckland side at eden park is good



the highlanders have a good ground, bit like penrith stadium



wellington is good even though its oval, so is jade stadium, the crusaders ground



north harbour is good as well, no S14 side uses it

I used to love North Sydney Oval

Much better than Perth.

you been?



i hate watching RL at ovals, mind you with so little atmosphere at NRL games it probably doesn't detract too much.

yeah we know



go weagles

Apparently the Wellington football team (soccer to you guys) outdrew the Wellington Super14 team last season.



Is RU struggling for attendance , if so, now might be the ideal time for NRL to expand its NZ market.
