@NTA was there anything else happening over west that weekend?

NTA

Not that I'm aware of. Definitely no AFL finals. And of course, no NRL. Those are usually the two biggies.

MN5

Another thing that hasn't really been pointed out: attendance was a bit over 16k in a ground that holds 20,500

Bit of a worry for the ARU, who have put in a shitload of resources to save a badly flagging franchise

A mate of mine lives in Perth and was offered a free ticket but turned it down.

I find his lack of faith in Australian and Argentinian Rugby disturbing.

I noticed that for the NZ Argies match in Waikato it wasn't sold out either.

Pretty surprised at that.

Maybe it had something to do with the Hog Worries being poor during the Super season.

I'm pretty certain The AB game was sold out, and pretty early on

Bovidae

@nzzp Yep, I'm sure only Greenzone (standing) tickets were available in the week before the test.

booboo

I thought it was quite widely reported it was sold out

Hooroo

It was sold out.... wasn't it?

MajorRage

23,500 attended - stadium holds at least 25k.

I thought it looked rammed too, so I was surprised when I read that.
