Police in Nelson are delighted with the behaviour of fans at tonight's rugby match between Italy and Russia.
Operation Commander Inspector Steve Caldwell said people heeded the requests to park away from the grounds and walk to the venue.
"There were no issues with traffic congestion and access to the ground. The crowd was extremely well behaved and enjoyed the hospitality that Nelson offered. Rugby was the winner," Inspector Caldwell said.
A 47 year man was arrested for a disorder related offence towards the end of the game.
Two people were ejected from the ground during the game, one for disorder and one for being intoxicated.
