Jack Mesley: Super Rugby Pacific CEO on Super Round kicking off with a Crusaders victory over the Waratahs at One NZ Stadium
About this episode
Jack Mesley discusses the successful kickoff of Super Round in Christchurch with a Crusaders victory over the Waratahs.
Super Round has set Christchurch alight. It kicked off in Christchurch’s brand new One NZ Stadium last night, the Crusaders claiming a comprehensive win over the Waratahs. Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley told Piney he couldn’t be happier with the results. “I knew it was gonna be a success, you could see the ticket sales data and things like that, but I probably underestimated the level of emotion that it meant for, you know, everyone from this part of the world.” “It just turned into a party really.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
