By chance I will be in Wellington and Auckland over the next week and will be doing my best to secure it then, mostly at friends places. All these rugby tours to the Shaky Isles over the years has been worth it

Checked out the cost of tickets..$350 Ireland V Australia
Will be watching from home/ pub with friends visiting from UK. Were going to meet in NZ but think we can have more fun with the money saved here!!

mind you this is subject to change!

Was intending to go using my long service leave before ravo closed shop.
Wont have enough leave accrued with my current job plus have other more important plans lined up for next year.
Will be Fox and channel 9 for me.

Any interest in hiring the Jaffa Room for key matches?
I probably wouldn't be down anyway so just floating the idea, someone else will need to run with it.
I watched the first Aus match of RWC '03 there, is a great little venue with a fantastic screen.
Back then the hire was pretty cheap and perhaps a few dollars extra per viewing can go towards TWF central revenue?
Seats up to 30 but check out the website.
Probably best to start a new thread if there is sufficient interest.
I recommend it anyway!
