All Blacks MasterCard Roadshow

The All Blacks probably weren’t expecting wood sawing, gumboot throwing or waiter racing to be part of their build up to the 2010 international test season, but that’s exactly what they’ll be competing in over the next two months as they travel the country for the MasterCard All Blacks Roadshow, coming to Waipu on 11 July.

Now in its third year, the MasterCard All Blacks Roadshow hosts a series of community events where local fans can get up close and personal with some of the current All Blacks and rugby legend, Buck Shelford, by competing in rugby challenges including; catching, try-scoring, kicking, passing and lineout skills.

This year, in addition to the five rugby challenges, the All Blacks will take on the residents of Waipu in their own game, competing in highland games (caber toss).

You can see the All Blacks on the MasterCard Roadshow in Waipu at Caledonian Park, The Centre, between 11am-3.30pm
