Context - The Super 15 runs from February 18th 2011 and the final will be on 9 July 2011.

Description: Text reads 'McCully was adamant the govt take whatever steps were needed to deter rugby fans from crowding into Party Central.' The cartoon depicts the severed head of Minister for the Rugby World Cup, Murray McCully, stuck on a paling in an iron fence surrounding Party Central in Auckland. Context: The cartoon refers to the government's very public undermining of Auckland's ability to run the fan zone after the fiasco because of overcrowding and transport problems on the opening night of the Rugby World Cup on the 9th September. Mr McCully had been under strict orders to do "whatever it takes" to ensure the Rugby World Cup is an outstanding success. The Rugby World Cup Empowerment legislation was invoked so that the Government could take control and run the fan zone - an action regarded as 'quite an extraordinary and surreal move' by Fran O'Sullivan in the New Zealand Herald September 14 2011.
