New Zealand – Rugby in Dunedin

The one thing Dunedin is famous for is definitely Rugby! Although we had no idea about the rules and didn’t know any of the rugby players – we put on yellow&blue face painting and headed to the rugby stadium. Actually the game wasn’t really that interesting (might have been due to us not-knowing-what-rugby-is-about *g*) but afterwards everybody ran onto the field, just to party or talk to the rugby players to get some autographs. The whole atmosphere before, during and after the rugby match was really awesome! Afterwards we followed those Dunedin fans into one of the famous after-game-bars called ‚The Bowler‘ – and the party went on. All in all I can say that attending a rugby game in Dunedin is real fun and definitely recommendable!
