The opening weekend of the Rugby World Cup in France has wrapped up, but it's left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans - and not because of the results.

All Blacks fans turned to social media to complain about queues of over an hour long for a drink, while some fans heading to the England-Argentina game in Marseilles were unable to take their seats until after kick-off due to disorganisation in getting to the stadium.

RNZ's reporter in France, Jamie Tahana, told Charlie Dreaver it's not the start to the tournament that organisers would've hoped for.
