Business was the winner

The All Blacks lost but the ODT reports Dunedin businesses won with the influx of rugby fans bringing millions of dollars into the city.

I was down there on Friday and many of the shops had got into the spirit of test weekend by dressing their windows in black and white and/or red, white and blue.

One of the advantages of being a smaller city is that an event like a test makes a big impact. In larger cities major events aren’t so noticeable because its more difficult to motive larger numbers and the influx of visitors is a smaller percentage of the usual population.
