[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 446615, member: 38640"] 1. I agree that while watching it, it was pretty embarissing. Even considering the ticket prices and terrible weather, I'd expect more people. As already mentioned, New Plymouth has a population of 68,000 people, with a low Russian and American population, so a crowd of 20,000 isn't too bad. Espeically considering the number of USA/Russians in cities in France which all have a larger population than New Plymouth. Still I admit that it was pretty bad. Most games have been close to compacity, but ticket prices (especially for the better seats) are just too expensive for most New Zealanders. I'm going to as many matches as I can afford, especially with the minow nations as the cheapest tickets are pretty affordable. 2. Found the video pretty interesting thanks Melhor. It certainly explains some of the tactics that they went into the match, especially a focus on defense, however I stand by most of what I said. I really hope you're right and we see Ngwenya much more involved. [/QUOTE]
