Occupy Auckland RWC match at 2:30pm today

Occupy Auckland is running a Rugby World Cup match between the “All Black
Bloc” and the 1% today.

The game will begin at 2:30pm at Aotea Square in central Auckland.

Occupy Auckland media spokesperson Campbell Jones says a “black bloc” is a
protest tactic popularised during anti-globalisation protests in the
1990's.

“We have serious concerns the 1% is working closely with the referees,” he
says. “However we've developed some good strategies to counter their
tactic of moving the goal posts.”
