Painting the town BLACK!

Joe and Jordan painting it black
Our 'nearly 7 year old' Rugby Fiend was excited today as the All Blacks rolled into town in the run up to Saturday's Bledisloe Cup game.  I took Joe and his friend Jordan (and Nana) to the roadshow to meet the players.

Kicking with Malili Muliaina

WOW!  The boys got to try on Dan Carter's boots, kicked balls with Malili Muliaina, tackled with Richie McCaw and raced with Ma'a Nonu.  The whole squad were present and the boys saw them all!
Just like Dan

Sprinting with Ma'a Nonu
Impressing Captain Richie with their tackling skills
They collected a wad of autographs and had their photos taken next to the stars!


Joe & Malili

Mutual admiration?  Joe (no. 1 fan) & Richie McCaw

Joe, Ma'a and Jordan

Liam Messam?  Correct me if I'm wrong!  & Joe

I think it is safe to say that they had a great time!


Now we are really looking forward to Saturday's big game - we have tickets!!!!!!
