One of the greatest opening ceremonies I have ever seen. Well done Kiwis.

Why aren't they telecasting it on local TV? A real disappointment for all the die hard rugby fans out there who don't own satellite TV.

The rights have been taken by SLRC but they are still not showing it because of the SL vs Aus tour. CSN tried to get the rights but it was not given to them because SLRC had taken it already.
