The Rugby World Cup 2011 venues have just been released and Wellington will get 5 matches including a Quarter Final. To show what a backwater Dunedin has become is that they will only get 3 games like New Plymouth, Rotorua etc.
A big argument is on in the city at the moment about getting a new all weather stadium in Dunedin and there is a lot of local opposition. The choice is there's - if they don't do something then places like Palmerston North, Tauranga, New Plymouth and the like will move ahead of them. Hamilton has already done so.
