Poll: Should there be a parade for the Black Ferns?
Our national women’s rugby team took out the Rugby World Cup on Saturday in a tense finale at Eden Park. The Black Ferns won the match by just three points taking home their sixth world title.
With public celebrations taking place following the All Blacks (men's) Rugby World Cup wins (2011 & 2015) as well as parades for the America's cup team, do you think similar celebration plans are needed for our winning Black Ferns women?
-
65.8% Absolutely, it's an event to be celebrated.
-
5.6% No, times are tough.
-
24.3% No need for a parade, but I'm still very proud of the Black Ferns.
-
4.2% I didn't know the Rugby World Cup was on?
