An I told you so moment for Wellington officials
An I told you so moment for Wellington officials
16 August 2021
Auckland's Eden Park was at just half just capacity on Saturday night, for the the second Bledisloe All Blacks test match against Australia.
More than 47 thousand people flocked to the stadium for the first game one week prior.
The match was shifted from Wellington's Sky Stadium, after a Covid-inflicted date change brought a clash with the Beervana festival .
Wellington City Councillor Simon Woolf says Wellington would have risen to the challenge Auckland failed to meet.
He says Auckland had an opportunity to fill their stadium two weeks in a row, and a lot of people missed out on the live experience.
