Join New Zealand's 'voice of rugby', prominent rugby commentator and master of ceremonies Keith Quinn and the 1987 former All Blacks team for a exciting evening of fun, laughter and reminiscing. Featuring a live panel discussion by former All Blacks greats Sir Brian Lochore, Sean Fitzpatrick, Grant Fox and David Kirk, guests will hear first-hand the pressures of being an All Black at a Rugby World Cup. All have experienced the intense pressure felt while representing New Zealand at home, and overcoming this with shared camaraderie, to win the ultimate rugby accolade.
The evening will conclude with a live auction including exclusive items: a weekend package away at the Hilton, Lake Taupo with the use of an Audi Q7; a replica 1987 All Blacks rugby jersey signed by the team; a framed 2011 All Blacks Rugby World Cup jersey; and an on-stage photograph with the former All Blacks team. All proceeds from the evening go towards the John Drake Memorial Scholarship, supporting talented rugby players studying at The University of Auckland.
“A balanced outlook on sport, study, career and life itself is the primary quality sought in John Drake Memorial Scholars. Many of the 1987 former All Blacks possessed this balance in abundance as their achievements on the rugby field and in their subsequent careers demonstrate. Their attitude and success are an inspiration to students. I am proud to be associated with this dinner to celebrate the 1987 team’s success and in support of the scholarship that bears John Drake’s name.” Sir Brian Lochore – All Blacks Coach 1987
