The only bigger stadiums that I can think of are Eden Park or North Shore Stadium. Both are in Auckland - Eden Park is central Akl, while NSS is (not surprisingly) in the North ... Waikato is South of Akl, so Eden Park would be a 1 1/2 hour drive from Waikato Stadium.. while NSS would be more like 2 1/2 hours.

Not to mention both being home stadiums for the Blues. :-)

Nice. The region must be psyched having the first final there. Congrats , they surely deserve to host.

Pity the Sharks couldnt get a week to rest , but thats the way the kookie crumbles.

Go RUGBY!! Hope the Sharks take it , as a DIE HARD CHEETHAS fan!!

I note the typical negative comments..... Hamilton and surrounding area has 350,000 people. Durban and surrounding area, 3.5 million.

Gazzabok, could Durban sell out a 250,000 seater stadium in a few hours?

Theshaw, you're just an idiot.
