NZ doesn't tend to do well in the world cup. |

| 1209455 | 2011-06-16 09:37:00 | At a time when there is a lot of cost cutting going on. Seems abysmal that the tax payer should be made to fork out. No expense will be spared for the high-flying visitors, who will reportedly stay in five-star accommodation, be given their own drivers and be wined, dined and entertained courtesy of the Government and the New Zealand Rugby Union. This money could better be spent where it is needed ie health, education, etc. |
