<span style="color: #ffff00; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">07.09.11 letter to the editor <span style="color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">I think that the rugby world cup final 2011 should be held here in Dunedin because in Auckland there are a lot of games already Auckland also have the first and hopefully not last, some people are extremely disappointed because of this .Even though Auckland is much bigger than Dunedin the people in Dunedin are much friendlier and there hospitality is much by helping if you are looking for the stadium or motel/apartments. Auckland is way extremely big than Dunedin and there is more room but in that room you could get lost because it is pretty big Auckland and that could cause you to be late to the game these tourists have paid top dollar for their tickets and they end up missing the first half of the game the best part. Some people might think since they have two stadiums they need more games but they have a lot between the two and some are the big ones. <span style="color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">By macee
