Visitors to Rotorua will be in no doubt that the city is ready to celebrate Rugby World Cup 2011, with more than 500 official street banners mounted this week on lamp posts around the city.

The banners have been erected by Rotorua District Council's events unit, Events & Venues Rotorua, as part of the district's welcome to Rugby World Cup 2011 teams, officials, supporters and fans. The first of three matches to be hosted in the city is on 10 September at Rotorua International Stadium when Fiji take on Namibia.

Other RWC2011 pool matches being staged in Rotorua at the International Stadium are on 14 September (Samoa vs Namibia) and 25 September (Ireland vs Russia.)
