Festivities are kicking off in Dunedin - a day before it hosts its only All Blacks game this year.  

The first international match of 2025 against France has sold out at Forsyth Barr Stadium tomorrow night.

Mayor Jules Radich told Heather du Plessis-Allan he isn't worried.  

He says the rugby union will continue to share games around the country.
