Mark Robinson: NZ Rugby CEO on the All Blacks v Fiji match in San Diego

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

Saturday saw the All Blacks record a record win in San Diego.  They were stateside over the weekend, facing off against Fiji and taking the win 47-5.  Over 33 thousand people attended the match, NZ Rugby CEO Mark Robinson saying it was a “fantastic event”.  He told Mike Hosking that Americans are very different in the way they approach sporting events, and they had stalls with long queues, a lot more music, a lot more people moving around their seats, and a lot more buzz and hum in the stadium.  Robinson said that there’s definitely more work to do, and the plan isn’t fully fledged yet, but they packed a heap of stuff into the week and had a great event on the Friday night as well, so they’re pretty pleased.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
