More than 43,000 spectators attended without restriction Sunday the Auckland Blues' victory against the Wellington Hurricanes (30-20), at the legendary Eden Park, as part of the Super Rugby Aotearoa.

This is the biggest crowd for a Super Rugby meeting in New Zealand for 15 years, while the local teams compete against each other this year, to avoid contacts and trips to Argentina, South Africa and Australia.
