Eden Park to host free 'Paris at the Park' event for RWC final

As the All Blacks take to the field on Sunday morning to face the Springboks in the Rugby World Cup final, Eden Park will be turning its hallowed turf into a hub for rugby fans.

The event, called "Paris at the Park", will see rugby fans sit on the turf or in the stands at the Auckland stadium as the team makes another attempt to win the Webb Ellis Cup.

The game will be broadcast on the stadium screens and promises to be an "unforgettable experience".

Tickets to the event will be free and can be claimed through Ticketmaster – with donations also able to be made to the Graeme Dingle Foundation, the official charity of New Zealand Rugby.
