Nelson to lose 2018 test match

[Stargazer]

@tim LOL, not in the next 10 years.

@stargazer we already have an upgraded stadium...

H. W. Shortt recreation ground.

Had a few enjoyable aftermatch functions out there. Those 80/80 guys certainly adhere to the traditions expected of gentlemens rugby.

@higgins you'd struggle to find a better clubhouse anywhere. Pearler of a spot.

It would probably go to Christchurch.

[Chris B.]

@hydro11 Don't listen to these rumblings from the minor provinces.

If that game was ever to be shifted, it would go to the Tauranga Domain - along with the two or three that are already going to be shifted from EdenPark.

But @dogmeat has a mate that said the Canterbury stadium is a backward shithole?

I'd prefer it went elsewhere... you can't even get accomodation close to the ground or even get served a beer in Chch (according to @dogmeat and his imaginary friend) unless you're a gang member

@sammyc cry! 😁

[shark]

Sorry Crusader cousins, but this would be deserved. The ground just isn't up to it and NZ Rugby were really pushing the boat out in awarding a test to Nelson.

To be fair it isn’t a good stadium. You need a good one. I’ve been to two games there and it just has that temporary feel about it.
