Test rugby returns to Christchurch

1:58 pm on 16 June 2012

Test rugby returns to Christchurch on Saturday night for the first time since the February 2011 earthquake, which killed 185 people and caused major damage to the city.

AMI Stadium was significantly damaged forcing the Crusaders Super Rugby and 2011 World Cup games to be moved elsewhere.

The All Blacks are returning to the city for the second Test against Ireland at a new stadium in Addington.

New Zealand won the first Test 42-10 at Eden Park last weekend.
