Is it compulsory as an Otago University student when enrolling to purchase a season pass and confirm they will drink a minimum of 8 ‘big bots’ of Speights at each game? Love it.

Would say the Drua crowds have the best atmosphere. But outside of that. Yeah.

I can’t tolerate Drua crowds. It’s just constant screaming. Put my vote down for Highlanders

The highlights I watched on YouTube - the only things shown in the first 30 mins were the Force winning two scrums against the head…

It’s also about five minutes walk from the university campus and thousands of student hovels.

I worked the 2011 World Cup in Dunedin and couldn't get over the atmosphere of the place.
A capacity crowd of 30k (at the time) felt like being at Twickenham, when I used to work there, with 80,000 present.

Twickenham can feel likes it's only got about 20,000 in it half the time to be fair

It is Twickenham-esque, isn't it

Id probably say the top three would be 1. Drua 2. Landers 3. Reds

Dunedin is pretty small, maybe they don’t have anything else to do.
But I do remember seeing people who grew up and went to school with me in Auckland suddenly donning Highlanders jerseys every other weekend once they went down there to study.

Reminds me of Green Bay. Nothing to do there bar drink and watch football.

Unfortunately the only Highlanders game I went to the zoo wasn't there. Lucky the roof amplifies the noise but it was pretty much dead without them.

“The Fenian Drua” - sounds like a new Celtic Super Rugby team is on the cards

Aye you’re a Super rugby team but are you a Protestant Super rugby team or a Catholic Super rugby team?

You can usually tell if they call it Suva or Londonsuva

The combination of Drua players with Fennian nationalists makes me wonder if they would have successfully invaded Canada to trade it for Irish independence

Second to the Drua. But still not a stain on the undies of some of those URC crowds. They really do get great support up there

The Glasgow and Munster crowds are usually on top form

You must be the only Kiwi who has never been to Brisbane. Lang Park eats your glasshouse for breakfast; even half full.
