Hoarding cover-up
PA Hamilton A major cover-up is occurring at most of New Zealand’s rugby World Cup venues — but it does not involve the slightest hint of scandal. World Cup organisers have spent the last couple of days blacking out all the advertising hoardings around the circumference of the playing fields at Eden Park and Rugby Park, Hamilton, with hundreds of metres of black plastic adhesive. The reason is that local advertising conflicts with advertising rights sold exclusively for the televised World Cup matches. In place of the blacked-out signs will be 39 new hinged advertising hoardings. Those signs will be used today and tomorrow at Eden Park before being freighted to Hamilton to be placed around the ground before the Argentina-Fiji clash on Sunday.
