Sevens Would Cause Riots In Dunedin

New Zealand's leading blogger, David Farrar of Kiwiblog, claims that the International Sevens Rugby tournament, which is currently held in Wellington, could not be held in Dunedin because it would cause rioting.

Students (and others) in Dunedin start burning couches and generally rioting after just a couple of hours of drinking. You’d have to be mad to want to host a game which is basically two days of non-stop drinking rugby.

I am not sure how serious the post is, but he may have a point. How will liquor sales at the Stadium fit with in with the University's current clampdown on alcohol use?
