And, Tim, see you later, mate.

Super Rugby is going to enter the playoffs this weekend.

Christchurch, as we've discussed, is a sellout.

The ticket sold out in 20 minutes for the Crusaders v Blues at Takaha.

Jack Mesley is the Super Rugby Pacific CEO in with us.

Hi, Jack.

Hi, Heather.

How are you?

I'm very well, thank you.

How good was that sellout?

Have any of the other playoffs sold out at all?

So what do we put this down to in Christchurch?

Is this just the novelty of having this new stadium, do you think?

Were there fireworks in the stadium?

But now, Jack, who thinks that setting off fireworks when there is a roof is a good idea?

Yeah, it's worth giving it a hoon.

Now, have we ended up, though, with the situation that we kind of want to avoid, which is that we have a predictable outcome most likely for the next round, which will be four New Zealand teams?

Okay, very quickly, what's the deal with Moana Pacifica?

Do you expect them to be saved or not?

All right, Jack, thanks very much for talking us through that.
