Rugby-All black in Wellington for Rugby Championship match

WELLINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – A power outage affecting the
port area of Wellington caused a 15-minute disruption to New
Zealand’s Rugby Championship match against Argentina on
Saturday.

Wellington Regional Stadium, which sits on land adjacent to
the port, was plunged into darkness during the halftime break
because of the outage.

New Zealand were leading 6-5 at halftime courtesy of two
Aaron Cruden penalties while Rodrigo Roncero had scored the
Puma’s try.

Play was held up for about 15 minutes as power came back on
and the lights reverted to full brightness.
