The Wellington Rugby Sevens party might be over after next year...
Wellington applied for a permanent place as host of the New Zealand Sevens. They have hosted the tournament for ten years. Its been a great place for top games and great fun for two days every January.
But the New Zealand Rugby Union has told them they must reapply along with all the other main centres. Dunedin which is in the process of constructing an indoor stadium, has applied along with Auckland and Christchurch, both of whom are revamping their stadiums for the Rugby World Cup in NZ in 2011.
All is not lost for Wellington, after all their great party has been going for ten years. Auckland doesn't have a great record organising anything, Dunedin are new at that sort of thing, and Christchurch the home of the champion Crusaders Super 14 franchise, could be the dark horse. We will all find out next year. In the meantime the semis and finals continue tonight, without New Zealand. Party party!
