The wonderful summer like weather we hve been experiencing for the last few weeke has broken and the rain is here. The Rugby Cup games will be held in less than ideal conditions today. There is every posibility that the walk up crowds will not be up to expectations as many will not want to sit in the rain or travel on wet roads with high density trafic. Some close games and less have been played and this will shoe that all is not as predictable as was thought. Early indications are the event will face a loss of at leasr $20 million dollars.

Well after all the build up the Rugby is now under way. The All Blacks kicked off and won although many fell it was a lack luster performance. The rail system failed many and the system could note cope with the crowds. The Party Central was a over run buy the response from the public. It seems that all the planning that had been done had not been done properly. It seems that there could have been up to 2000 people who were failed buy the system. The All Blacks lack luster performance in the second half will have some people wondering.

Many people are starting to feel that the saturation advertising of the world rugby cup is getting to the stage where it is turning people off thr event. Twenty references in an hour is a lot by any measure. The excessive amount of rugby that has been on also is tending to be more than some people can take. Predictions of 90,000 visitors each spending 150 dollars a day sound like the economy could benifit but little has been said about the cost of setting up and running the event. Ticket sales still seem to be below estimates and only time will tell how the figures will telly up.
