where's the crowd?
There are four test matches at Eden Park this year. If you are going to get out there, why bother going to see Samoa if you can see ABs playing Lions twice or SA?
Well, you needed to get lucky to get tickets to the Lions.
I think the double-header idea has failed. Not many wanted to fork out for Wales v Tonga without the best Welsh players, and getting there on time on a Friday night was always a stretch given Eden Parks location, so most just home after work.
I think the only reason why it's a double header was that the stadium in Nuku'alofa wasn't ready in time. So it's not so much an "idea", more a solution to a venue problem.

@dingo What I'm saying is that if a shitload of money is spent on a stadium in Auckland, then it is likely to become a national stadium. You might see only one test outside of Auckland per year.
Why? Are the NZRFU paying for the Auckland Stadium? The RFU own Twickenham. The NZRFU don't own Eden Park and nor will they own Waterfront/AN other new Auckland Stadium.

Man ALB is pure class. This is getting ugly for Samoa.

ALB is so fucking good.
One of those players who look better in black, even his own admissions didn't start the super season well.

Nah - you guys don't turn out enough at rugby. You'd just get all the Warriors games there!

Retallick's work rate is so impressive. Tackle, tackle, tackle. Relentless.
This. Was just about to write that BBBR is beginning to get into his work.

Dane would've caught that and galloped under the posts...

Jules scores a try! 11 jersey sewn up for the rest of the season.
