As a sort of neutral rugby supporter on this occasion the atmosphere was great. Not great weather but that didn't dampen the occasion too much. Stadium was easy to get to and from. Very good day.
The rain was more cleansing rather than annoying. Great atmosphere and venue
It was no one's fault that it rained, and the rain did not help the quality of the game which was marred by mistakes on both sides. I was particularly disappointed that the starting time was advertised as 5.45 when the game did not start until after 6.00. I expect better when start times are carefully managed to fit in with precisely scheduled TV broadcasts!!
Once again, thanks for your great service, emails & keeping us updated week in & week out untill our entry into the gates of the Bledisloe Cheers
Great night, fantastic crowd, the weather didn't dampen the skills of two of the best teams in the world.
What an amazing experience for my husband and I to be amongst. We were 1st time attendees to a Bledisloe Game (we're both kiwi's) And what a beautiful way to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary 🖤🖤🖤 We had such a great and amazing time.
Enjoyed an exciting game of international rugby between the Wallabies and Pumas at Townsville's QLD Country Bank Stadium. The stadium is a great venue - so well designed and conveniently located. Hope to see more international rugby matches in Townsville!
Had a great day watching the wallabies , what a game , what a day ! Loved loved it … let’s hope it comes to Townsville again 😉
The game was an amazing experience! So many passionate Rugby Union fans & the weather was perfect!
McDonalds Jones Stadium was the perfect venue to host a sunday afternoon rugby union match ... the crowd turned up & created an amazing atmosphere like no other in regional NSW. Ticketmaster made it simple with mobile ticketing & up to date info up until game day.
