If anybody got up early in the UK to watch the Super 14 final they must be annoyed. 

After organising a big group of people to catch up in Auckland (who normally can’t make it out with kids!). Everybody settled down in anticipation of a cracker of a final between to 2 NZ Teams. Unfortunately the TV coverage and the people in the stands witnessed a blanket of Christchurch smog!

A bitter disappointment after all the hype and nobody (even the players) saw much of the game.  Where was the contingency planning?
