and you do?

Utter Tripe.
Can I ask, how long you lived here in New Zealand?
I've been here now nearly a decade, sponsor my local RL side and have plenty of friends who both watch and play both games....so far there's 8 buses from the local Union club booked to take fans into the cake tin later this year when the Warriors are in town......New Zealanders are fans of sport.....all sport.
The prejudices of League v Union are nowhere near as active here in NZ, although on the south Island, Union is more of a way of life, whilst in South Auckland, League is stronger.......but the same Tongan fans that will probably fill Eden Park were at the RWC 11 games as well......they love Tonga, not just League. There are more Tongans in Auckland than in Tonga. If these rabid Tongan fanatics were Leaguies, why is Mt Smart (across the road from the largest tongan population in the world) not regularly sold out?
The rest of your rambling attack on my knowledge carries little weight either. The RFL are inept in many things that they do...like shedding 20k fans between the 2015 and 2018 visits of the Kiwis.
As I say, Eden park will probably be full of Tongans on the day, but what does that say about the draw of either GB or the Kiwis? The scheduling of this event is strange at best........ I have no doubt you'll come back with more opinion and very little fact, but I can assure you there are plenty of fans who would have wanted to attend this event if it didn't clash with the RWC final and the majority of Kiwis are sports fans first and foremost.
I look forward to you telling us all how long you lived here by the way.......

To be fair, this isn’t Twitter.
Forum’s are places for good reasoned long posts.
