The City of Sails is set to be humming this weekend. 

Auckland's hosting a plethora of events, as the Warriors take on the Roosters today, the Blues face the Crusaders tomorrow, and Round the Bays kicks off Sunday. 

The city's newest golf tournament will also run across the weekend. 

New Zealand Events Association General Manager Elaine Linnell told Mike Hosking they’ll be able to see and feel the financial impact of the weekend after the fact. 

She says with events like this, hotels are full, restaurants are booked – it's busy, and it flows through every part of the city.
