Porirua and the World Cup

This week's poll on The Dominion Post is should Porirua play a role in the 2011 Rugby World Cup?

By my understanding the final event will be held in Mt Eden in Auckland. There has been much debate over if this will cost Aucklanders too much with the amount of extensions required to pull off the event successfully. At the moment there will be some extensions made to the Mt Eden stadium. hopefully this will be completed by 2011.

So while having Porirua play a role in 2011 Rugby World Cup sounds like a good idea to help include smaller towns of New Zealand. Who is going to pay for this? Can the people afford to pay for this by 2011?

Why spend money out in a different town when there is a wonderful stadium in Wellington that is already ready for possible events like the rubgy cup. At the moment Wellington's stadium is better than Auckland's and is in my opinion one of the best in the country.

With the cost of petrol uncertain, will it be worth while having practise fields far away from central Wellington, where the game will be played.
