Man of the match Shaun Johnson felt the small crowd for Saturday's triple header at Mt Smart Stadium was disappointing, but not surprising. No official figure has been released for Saturday's rugby league test, but it's understood there were about 13,000 spectators. "In Auckland, the hub of rugby league, I thought there would be a bit more interest, but maybe that just shows where New Zealand Rugby League is at, at the moment. "Times like this, when you do play well and get a good win against a quality team, you've got to enjoy it. "It was definitely a good night and one of the better moments of my career," he said.
