Rugby World Cup 2015 is in England so ......................

26,000 and 14,000 so there is hope for us (WR) yet!

And I am sure there were other low-capacity stadia

Yes there were other low capacity stadia used in RWC2011 but that is becase NZ has very few large stadia in the entire country.

If WR is used in 2015 (which I believe it will), I expect it to only get one or maybe two midweek games, most likely involving tier-2 nations.
We wouldn't get any of the "big" games, though there would be the possibility that we may get a tier-1 nation vs a minnow for one match.

............... My biggest gripe is they talk over the referee when he is explaining decisions or telling the captains something. Hearing the referee often really adds to the understanding of why the game pattern is as it is. Vickery adds nothing.

Wholeheartedly agree.
Really gets my goat also.
