As an Aussie fan I can’t even remember when I was able to watch a World Cup match at a reasonable hour  for ANY sport. Thus I was absolutely stoked that the opening game for our Wallabies at Rugby World Cup 2011 was played not at 1.30am..but 1.30pm! Perfect!

A bunch of mates, BBQ, a few eskies and we were good to go.

As the match developed, it became clear that the Aussies are a real chance in this World Cup and a couple of my mates went looking for tickets and packages on their i-Phones. The best deals they came up with were via Total Sports Travel who offer not only fly-in fly-out one match experiences but also semi final and final packages with tickets and accommodation. That’s the clincher! We thought all Rugby World Cup tickets were sold out!

Green & Gold...LOVE IT!

Imagine being in a sea of green and gold at Eden Park stadium at the Rugby World Cup semi final and final with everything conceivable taken care of leaving you enjoy the experience and have no worries whatsoever. The guys found some random tickets available also to the remaining group games but their focus (and their annual leave requests) is all about the finals.

Has anyone else been to a Rugby World Cup final? How early will they need to get to the stadium, I mean we all know Eden Park is not exactly ‘commuter friendly’! What should my mates expect and are these last minute Rugby World Cup packages (click here to check them out) the way to go?

Me? I can’t make it after AFL AND NRL Grand Finals, however I assure you if my mates are there, you’ll see them on TV no doubt, for some reason they’re ALWAYS captured by the cameramen! Haha.

I’ll keep you posted but if YOU are travelling with Total Sports Travel, let me know the deal so I can pass it on!

The unconquerable Eden Park!
