Rugby World Cup

Iconic South Island rugby fields are the subject of a photography exhibition at Christchurch International Airport that will be on show during Rugby World Cup 2011.

New Zealanders are renowned for their ingenuity but one Kiwi has capped off the ‘No. 8 wire’ mentality with a giant sculpture that’s likely to break a Guinness World Record.

Sculptures made out of old goal posts from Eden Park in Auckland could become part of French / Kiwi rugby history if a symbolic ceremony planned during the Rugby World Cup next year goes ahead.

Kiwi rugby legend Dan Carter has become the leading points-scorer in test rugby having broken the world record during the All Blacks’ game against Wales in Cardiff.

With 283 days left to go until Rugby World Cup 2011, tickets for the world’s biggest rugby event are about to go on general sale.

It’s no surprise to the locals, but Lonely Planet has just made it official – Wellington is “the coolest little capital in the world”.

A New Zealand rugby club is calling for international rugby fans to ‘bring their boots’ to Wellington next year.

A refurbished Eden Park reopened yesterday (10.10.2010), and more than 18,000 rugby fans helped mark the huge milestone for the historic Auckland sports ground.

The clock is ticking for Rugby World Cup fans as the ballots for tickets to the semi-finals and final gets ready to close on 5pm, Friday (08.10.10).

An old black and white photo of the very first All Blacks test match in New Zealand has been discovered among a treasure trove of turn-of-the-century images in a Waikanae family estate.
