Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) -- New Zealand's Rugby World Cup Minister Murray McCully talks about the economic opportunities from hosting the tournament, which starts next month.¶ New Zealand, a country with more land mass than the U.K. and one-fourteenth its population, is hosting rugby’s most prestigious event a year after the first in a series of quakes struck Christchurch, leaving the second-biggest city with a NZ$20 billion ($16.6 billion) repair bill. McCully spoke yesterday with Bloomberg's Chris Bourke in Wellington. (Source: Bloomberg)
