Samoa v Boks a sell-out

New Zealand media report that a World Cup match between Samoa and South Africa has sold out after the Samoans' historic 32-23 win over Australia at the weekend.

The New Zealand Herald quoted a spokeswoman for World Cup organizers as saying demand for tickets to the September 30 match at the North Harbour Stadium had increased rapidly since Sunday's match in Sydney and all tickets had now been sold.

The spokeswoman said "there's been an increase in demand to Samoa matches since the result. Samoa-Fiji and Samoa-Wales are also both selling really well."

The Samoa versus Springboks match is only the fourth World Cup match to sell out so far - after the tournament Final and matches between New Zealand and France, as well as France and Canada.
