Coach Steve Corica told Piney that a derby is something special, but you don't want to overplay the game too much in your head during the week.

Forty-four years ago, Mt Smart Stadium hosted one of the most controversial and dramatic football matches in New Zealand’s sporting history. On October 10, 1981, the All Whites faced Kuwait in a FIFA World Cup qualifier, a clash that would become legendary for its high stakes, wild officiating, and the raw emotion it unleashed in the crowd...This week’s episode of Kärcher’s “Blast from the Past” podcast, featuring ACC Head G Lane, Jason Pine, and Dylan Cleaver, dives deep into the chaos and legacy of that day. The panel revisits the powderkeg atmosphere of 1981, a year already marked by civil unrest, and how those tensions spilled onto the pitch. With 21,000 fans packed into Mt Smart, the All Whites took an early lead thanks to Steve Wooddin’s clinical finish, only for the match to unravel under the whistle of Indonesian referee Hardjowasito Sudarso.Sudarso’s decisions, 33 free kicks and two penalties awarded to Kuwait, compared to just 10 for New Zealand, sparked outrage. The crowd’s fury peaked when a local schoolboy hurled a can at the referee, halting the game and drawing police onto the field. The drama didn’t end there: Kuwait’s last-minute goal sealed a 2-1 win, leaving the All Whites and their supporters stunned.But this wasn’t just a story of heartbreak. The episode explores how the All Whites rallied, embarking on a wild qualification campaign that would eventually take them to Spain for the 1982 World Cup...Blast From The Past is brought to you by the legends at Kärcher!

The Blues are poised to head across town to Mt Smart for two Super Rugby games next year. They're reportedly still planning to play most of their games at their usual Eden Park base, but are looking closely across town. Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner told Mike Hosking that having the right event in the right venue is important. He says the Blues negotiations probably highlight the need for a broader conversation regarding the Auckland stadium network, along with what's best for Auckland when optimising and utilising the network. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Eden Park has been home ground for the Blues since the inaugural Super Rugby season in 1996 - but change could be on the horizon. The Auckland rugby franchise has asked for public feedback on moving their home games to Mt Smart Stadium for the 2026 season. Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner joins Jason Pine to discuss his concerns about the potential move, and how the stadium can deliver the best fan experience. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's probably sensible, don't you think, for the Blues to consider leaving Eden Park for Mt Smart? It's not going to fix the attendance issues, though they seem to be hoping it will. In the consultation they're doing, the question they're asking fans is whether moving to Mt Smart will make them “more or less likely to attend Blues Super Rugby [mens] home games”. The fans might say yes, but they won't. Mt Smart is no better than Eden Park. It's not easier to get to there with public transport, it's about the same. If you drive you still have to find a park somewhere on the road, or on private property. You're still exposed to the elements in the stand. You're still paying for your beer and chips instead of getting them out of your kitchen. Maybe you could argue Mt Smart has a slight advantage in that you're coming straight off the motorway instead of fighting to get down Dominion Road, but I don't think that's enough of a difference to supercharge the crowd. Maybe you could argue that because the Warriors and Auckland FC are there, fans form a habit, so they go because they know how to go. But again, I don't think that's the problem. I think the problem is Super Rugby You're seeing poor turnout for Super Rugby regular season games around the country. 6000 are turning up for Moana Pasifika games. 13,000 for the Crusaders. 11,000 for the Blues. 11,000 in a 50,000 capacity stadium looks horrible. 11,000 in a 25,000 capacity stadium like Mt Smart looks less bad. But it's giving up, isn't it? The Blues leaving the home of rugby is basically accepting that this is how it is, that the crowd size of 11,000 is simply how it's going to be. What they should really be doing is finding smart ways to get us to come to Super Rugby games again. Find ways to get families along. Eden Park's kid zone with the bouncy castle is the right kind of thinking. Find ways to get us excited about the game of rugby. I'm sorry, but it's a boring product. Unless they do that, crowds that only fill quarter of a stadium are the future, in which case, move to Mt Smart. A smaller stadium will hide the empty seats better.

The Blues are weighing up their future at the hallowed turf of Eden Park, with their contract coming to an end. The Super Rugby franchise have asked for public feedback on moving their home games to Mount Smart Stadium for the 2026 season. CEO Andrew Hore told Heather du Plessis-Allan they've seen an increase in broadcast numbers, but they've seen a much smaller increase in crowds over the last three years and they want to accelerate that. He says that moving from Eden Park may not be the answer, but it could be, and they've got to investigate all avenues. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
