We know the score!

Here’s the official stats from last night’s transport and Fan Zones for the RWC Final.

And the incredible stat is that 41,000 walked the Fan Trail to Eden Park.

4000 of those people then caught the train back from Kingsland to Britomart before kick-off, after walking the fan trail!
