Conveniently located halfway between Taupo and Wellington, the Manawatu region combines the charm of rural New Zealand with the sophisticated provincial appeal of Palmerston North city.
Arena Manawatu, Palmerston North
Capacity: 18,300
Address: Pascal Street, Palmerston North
Locals love the place. It's just a seven minute walk from Palmerston North's city centre. The redeveloped grandstand, with its stunning views of the Oval, was completed in 2005. The Stadium itself sits in a park-like environment with 33 individual indoor and outdoor venues within the 18 hectare site.
The Stadium was home to the first ever Super 12 Rugby match in 1996 which was played between the Wellington Hurricanes and the Auckland Blues.
The Argentinians are set to thrill the crowds with some great Rugby as they fight to beat their last third place finish in RWC France in 2007.
