Looks like they're trying to get the Halliwell jones sold out for Sunday, the south terrace is available to select in the £25 category now (not updated the seating plan though)..it was crazy originally that it cost more to stand then to sit

Samoa v Tonga should sell out at any price, that atmosphere is going to be amazing, just to watch the pre match challenges laid down will be worth the entrance fee alone.
