Super 15 Comes to Queenstown with Free Entry for All

This Saturday 11 February at 5pm Queenstown will be treated to a free 2012 Investec Super Rugby Season preseason game at the Queenstown Recreation Ground when the Highlanders take on the Chiefs.

The Highlanders Queenstown Partners Group (Lakes Leisure, Locations, NZSki.com & Lone Star) are bringing both teams to town for the match and Highlanders General Manager, Roger Clark, is looking forward to getting back to Queenstown.

“The team enjoys visiting and playing in Queenstown, and the opportunity the Queenstown Partners have given the team for this pre-season game is outstanding” commented Clark.

The Highlanders have always had a strong following from the Central Otago region so the game is expected to attract a big crowd particularly when entry will be free of charge.

The Highlanders team will be named this Wednesday 8 February.
