Quick blip last night from the All Blacks- Ireland game last night on a very wet, cold and windy Wellington winter night. The conditions certainly affected the players as it was pretty poor stuff but also the crowd - as you can see, the blip shows the rare sight of empty seats at an All Blacks test match. NZ is still suffering a World up hangover but some people are also suffering economically so when you take into account cost of a ticket plus transport, its little wonder more and more people are choosing to watch on TV.

The Tri-Nations game against world chaps South Africa in July should be better - and hopefully warmer and drier!
