Car parts top the list of contraband items at the Rugby World Cup
MORE than a million tickets have been sold to the World Cup extravaganza and the rugby police will be out in force at stadiums to ban anyone bearing a vuvuzela, skateboard, gang patches, flags with sticks longer than 80cm or...car parts.
That's right. Forget trying to bring a car bonnet or battery into Auckland's Eden Park. Don't try bringing in a cold burger from McDonald's either.
The list of prohibited items for the tournament's 12 stadia runs to 28 categories as tournament organisers try to maximise the enjoyment of fans.
World Cup organisers are obsessed by protecting their sponsors so ambush marketing is a big no-no.
In theory, if a group of 30 Wallabies fans all arrive at Sunday's clash against Italy at Auckland's North Harbour Stadium wearing a variety of gold jersies, inadvertently carrying Qantas logos, they could be asked to remove them as Emirates is the official Cup airline.
The tournament doesn't own the crowd so we don't think it will reach that silly stage.
