You know, if you're in Dunedin globally, relatively a small town, I love Dunedin.

But you can go down the road, you can walk to the stadium and see the blues verse the Highlanders and see some of the very best rugby talent on the planet playing in our backyard.

Week in week out for 19 weeks and playing some of the most attractive rugby that's played on the globe.

Like.

when you strip it back, how lucky are we?

How lucky are we that we can, we're so, we've got such proximity to such great code and such passionate fans that go out and see our wonderful clubs.

Well, I'm sure there'll be a bit of rolling at Super Round after the three-day marathon of Super Round, but you're spot on.

And, you know, for Super Round, that walkway down the boulevard there from Riverside to the stadium is going to be a full fan trail.

And beyond all the restaurants and bars that are already there, there's going to be buskers and entertainers and things like that.

So...

It's going to be such a wonderful addition to Christchurch, the stadium.

We're really excited to get down there next weekend for Super Round.

It's going to change the whole experience for Cantabrians going to support the Crusaders.

I'm sure we're going to see a big spike in their crowds week in, week out.

Yeah.

And it's been a journey, right?

I think since, um, I think 22 was probably where the competition and everyone sort of got together and said, okay, we need some serious work here.

So since the end of the 22 season, this has been a continual journey, great work done by, by all, a lot of people to get it to the space where we are now.

But, um,

We now are looking really closely at everything we can do just to get the minutiae changes now because we've sucked a lot of that static time out now and we are now maximizing ball in play time.
