The Warriors are headed south, playing their first match at Christchurch’s new stadium. 

Three Warriors teams are set to run out onto the field as part of a festival of footy, the day ending with the NRL clash against the North Queensland Cowboys. 

Tickets for the event sold out in a few days, making it the club’s fastest-selling regular season match since their debut against the Broncos in 1995. 

CEO Cameron George told Mike Hosking it’s a real privilege to come to places like Christchurch and sell out so quickly. 

He says there’s a huge buzz around town, and come Sunday, he’s sure there’s going to be an electric atmosphere in the new stadium.
