[QUOTE="Brodizzle, post: 146428"] I believe they bribed primarily the NH nations with 'All Blacks tours', which guarantees a packed stadium, not quite underhanded but the money was better then any potential growth if staged in another region. (like rugby CEO's give a crap about growth when they get a big cash guarantee) And imagine when all the tourist come into your nation, a stadium of 18,000 will be half of what you need for a lowly pool game, will every match be staged at Eden Park or Jade Stadium? (AMI Stadium?) Even they aren't big enough despite Eden Parks upgrade to around 60,000 for the end games of the world cup, tickets are going to cost crazy amounts even for the lowest of seats the way this is going..... The Japanese are crazy over thier sport, no matter how they go....they'll be there in droves...especially to see your All Blacks.... [/QUOTE]
