Journalists and pundits were quick to slam day one of the tournament with scorching temperatures leading to a lower than expected crowd. In shaded parts of the ground there seemed to be a good crowd in overall.
One of the other criticisms was the lack of All Blacks players, who were made ineligible for the tournament. Regardless, day one featured some exciting play, that would have whet the appetite of rugby fans.
