AUCKLAND: New Zealand Rugby is expecting a "near-capacity" crowd in Auckland's Eden Park for the second Bledisloe Cup international against Australia on Sunday.
New Zealand has been relatively successful in the fight against COVID-19.
NZR said on Tuesday that 40,000 tickets for Sunday's match in the city had already been sold.
"We are now looking forward to bringing test rugby to New Zealand's largest city and with more than 40,000 tickets sold it's shaping as a special occasion."
"It was fantastic to see so many fans come together in Wellington for (our) first test in more than a year, and after such an enthralling contest interest has gone to another level," NZR's Chris Lendrum said in a statement.
