Overall, the organisers of the #RWC2021 deserve more credit than I've heard them receive.

I have NEVER heard a crowd cheer as loudly and as enthusiastically as they did for the Blackferns. This started even before the match - at the announcement of teams, and as teams walked out from the tunnels

Firstly, the tickets were for an afternoon of rugby including the bronze medal match. People started arriving from 3pmish which alleviated the crazy rush and traffic you usually see shortly before kickoff at Eden Park
