NZ vs. Mexico at the Cake Tin

The Cake Tin is the name of a sports stadium that was built in the late '90s in Wellington. It hosts all manner of events besides sports, but the main sport played there is NZ's national game, rugby. The national rugby team is called the All Blacks because, from the get-go, they always wore black jerseys and shorts.

Soccer is also played in NZ, and the national soccer team is called the All Whites because they dress all in white. One weekend, the Cake Tin hosted an international match between the All Whites and Mexico. I didn't go to the match itself, but there was plenty to see as people arrived for the evening game, which was also a fundraiser for a domestic abuse charity.Læs mere
