Waikato Police say the attitude of revellers enjoying post-match entertainment in central Hamilton makes the City that much easier to keep safe.
Officer in charge of the District's Rugby World Cup operation, Inspector John Kelly, said a good sized crowd was enjoying the food and hospitality Hamilton has to offer with a lot of positive interaction happening between Samoan and Welsh fans.
"People are heeding the messages, drinking responsibly, eating food and having a good time.
"Out on the roads the crowds emptied out pretty quickly and there has been smooth, larger than usual traffic flows heading north with no problems."
Mr Kelly said the challenge for the Police and partner agencies now was to build on the success of the weekend's double header for when the City hosts the Wales v Fiji match on 02 October.
"The people of the Waikato have every reason to be proud of the way they have hosted these matches and we're looking forward to more of the same in two weeks."
