Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.

With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?

As a result, there will be new traffic management in place, from Monday, November 21.

Traffic management will be in place until late March 2023.

The hours of work will generally be 7am – 6:30pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturday work as required
