Super Round has set Christchurch alight.
It kicked off in Christchurch’s brand new One NZ Stadium last night, the Crusaders claiming a comprehensive win over the Waratahs.
Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley told Piney he couldn’t be happier with the results.
“I knew it was gonna be a success, you could see the ticket sales data and things like that, but I probably underestimated the level of emotion that it meant for, you know, everyone from this part of the world.”
“It just turned into a party really.”
