I want to finish on Carl Budge.

Rugby in Crisis? Why 11 Top NZ Players are Quitting Super Rugby

And I liked the story when it came out last Friday.

Just because I think that...

Budge is a CEO.

This is what he does.

He creates headlines.

We all saw it with Auckland Tennis, that ASB classic.

He managed to keep that in the headlines for months, dragging out every announcement of every player, owning the sports media landscape for a couple of weeks every year.

And for him to put his hand up and say, hey, we can host this in Auckland, I don't actually think logistically it's possible right now.

Unless, of course, you turn the number two ground into some kind of party festival zone over that time.

But do you like the fact that he's put his hand up and actually at least made some noise and made some headlines about this?

Kingsland is, you know, it's there.

But do you think, Mark, that feasibly Eden Park could host something like this right now?

DSPN - Devlin Sports Podcast Network
Rugby in Crisis? Why 11 Top NZ Players are Quitting Super Rugby

Well, it did in Christchurch.
