Relive Rugby World Cup 2011 excitement when rugby's most treasured prizes – including the Webb Ellis Cup - will be in Auckland as part of a massive road trip around the country celebrating rugby.
The New Zealand Rugby Union, together with rugby’s provincial unions are holding the family-friendly event to say ‘thank you, New Zealand’. Locals will be able to have their photo taken with prized rugby silverware, while also taking the time to enjoy a range of fun activities.
There are also heaps of prizes to be won, including a chance to win one of 40 Investec Super Rugby jerseys, as well as a massive All Blacks Test experience, including flights, accommodation and touchline seats at an All Blacks Test in 2012.
NZRU CEO, Steve Tew said: “our support during the tournament came from all corners of New Zealand including people here in Auckland, so to be able to bring the Cup and all the other rugby activities to them is awesome."
The event, dubbed The Great Rugby Road Trip, will showcase New Zealand rugby’s prized trophies, including the Webb Ellis Cup, the Bledisloe Cup and IRB Women’s Rugby World Cup and the IRB Junior World Championship Trophy.
“We’re delighted that the festival of rugby, featuring so many international trophies is coming to town to be shared with our community. Knowing that the All Blacks are World Champions provides added excitement to what will be a great occasion for Auckland,” said Auckland Rugby’s Dave Syms.
