The final probably had 15k and it was pouring rain but the IRB would have to be embarrassed.
About 12 months ago the posters on the FIRA website were claiming this would be a disaster. The stadium was always going to be too large. There were visa issues for travelling fans and the big one was hosting it at the same time as the Lions tour. All the moneyed up rugby fans were on the other side of the world.
Someone needs to cop it for this. Surely they could have rounded up people and let them in. Lets hope the IRB learn how not to host a tournament and put plans in place to ensure it doesn't happen again.
