Classic All Blacks

A team of All Blacks from the past came to Gisborne to play Poverty Bay after defeating East Coast. Their rugby showed they remain a force to be reckoned with, as the skills, flair, speed and old magic were still evident. Junior and Secondary school Rugby players benefited from their visit as the Classic All Blacks spent time coaching and speaking at school assemblies, passing on valuable knowledge to those who dream of one day becoming an All Black.
