20 Auckland

Preface

Re-formed Auckland re-enters our Top 25 after a year's absence. As the major centre in one of the youngest first world countries, Auckland is like a teenager thrust suddenly into self-awareness: slightly gawky, nearly cool and determined to smile for the cameras when the Rugby World Cup rolls into town in two years' time.
