Northland Rugby could be in for an icy reception when they play their first game of the Mitre 10 Cup.
Rugby Southland will host Northland in the first game of the national rugby competition this Thursday in Invercargill.
But a post by the Rugby Southland to Facebook today revealed Rugby
Park Stadium covered in snow.
Replying to comments from shocked fans, Rugby Southland said it was very rare for them to see so much snow cover the field.
"Player: "Is that a try?" Referee: "Close enough ... I think," the club joked ."Crazy dumping here in Invercargill!"
