    The Hamilton Mayor's not bothered by the French rugby team's decision to stay outside the city, in the lead-up to their test against the All Blacks

    The Hamilton Mayor's not bothered by the French rugby team's decision to stay outside the city, in the lead-up to their test against the All Blacks


    Les Bleus will be based in Auckland for as long as possible before next week's match at FMG Stadium, citing preferred facilities.

    The All Blacks are spending the week prior to the third test in Hamilton.

    Paula Southgate says thousands of visitors are heading to the city for the game.

    She says they're going to pack out local business and accommodation - and thinks it's the French team's loss.

    The second test is on Saturday night in Wellington.
