They're certainly not for extracting fireworks smoke.

Oh, yeah.

Because, remember, that just hovered around on the field.

I don't know what they are for.

They just looked like they were there for a horror movie, you know, a Final Destination sort of situation.

Can they turn them off and on when opposition team members start to kick?

So you have a whole lot of extractor fans, and then you're like, and it pushes the ball back.

I mean, I saw what was happening in Wellington on Saturday night with some of the kicks just going backwards.

I love a game where kicks go backwards I realise it actually makes it really really exciting yeah we might have to talk about that later on the you know they had the fog final that was the wind final but anyway 38-20 just the buzz around the city on a Sunday from the moment we touched down just incredible put another NRL team down here it deserves it if that was an audition they nailed it Christchurch deserves an NRL team

Mania's coming in live from Christchurch, the Garden City.

City of the moment, I reckon.

It's really having a moment right now.

Obviously the stadium, and as we were just talking about off air, the beautiful shots of the stadium.

4pm, golden hour in Christchurch in the middle of winter.

It was just delightful.

There was a real buzz around the city.

From the moment we touched down, we hopped in a corporate cab.

We couldn't get an Uber.

Sounds like the moment that you guys touched down, there was a buzz around the city because you guys were in town.

People were fired up that we were in town.
