Honouring Manawatū Rugby supporter’s tradition of wearing buckets with cut-outs for the face, fans attending the Romania vs Georgia Rugby World Cup game were offered free themed versions for the game: Red for Georgia and yellow for Romania.

Rugby World Cup fans were able to enjoy a wealth of events in Te Marae o Hine – the Square in the afternoon leading up to the game between Georgia and Romania, including Telecom BackingBlack fan club events from noon until 6pm and live music from 3.30pm.
