Wellington Police were dissapointed with the alcohol management at tonights Wellington Sevens. The wristband system appeared to break down and many people consumed and purchased liquior contrary to the agreed procedure. Under the new Sale and Purchase of Alcohol Act we observed a high level of intoxication within the stadium tonight with over 160 people ejected and 10 arrests. Police are hoping for a big improvement tomorrow night from both the stadium management and the public.
