We shouldn't be playing in Auckland because we don't represent Auckland, nothing to do with the crowds. I don't think "we shouldn't play there cos of the crowds" is normally part of the argument.
And I think anyone who follows this forum over the years knows you're completely wrong. Don't you remember all the sneering and whining about the sub-10000 attendances at Mt Smart and QBE?
The Nix represent a country-wide team whether Wellington-based fans like it or not, it's good to reserve a connection for any fans based outside Welly - most of whom are in Auckland. Don't see a problem with a game or two in Akl, no more than that though
