But its not like Cavey can talk. They had the Caley sitting there for the Cup game, which would have been much better for players and spectators but they chose to play on the bog that is Tonga
That's a bit harsh on poor old Tonga. It handles the rain pretty bloody well, all things considered. There was a weeks worth of torrential rain leading up to that game. Most of the pitch held up alright, it was just due to the heavy traffic in the middle that saw some mud being slung about. On the same day, any other ground in dunedin would have been in the same condition after 15 mins.
Besides this, Cavy got drawn at home, and would have lost any possible home advantage at the Caley, which is Techs home ground. If they had drawn any other team for that round, they may well have played there instead.
