ALL BLACK FUN DAY By Akeila and Jayna

Happy little kids.

On Friday we had one fun exciting day. We went to Goodman Reserve to see Ali Williams and Ben Franks.
We did fun activities, met awesome rugby players and got to watch them play kio rahe. There were two lucky boys who got to have lunch with them.   They were William Havili and George Lockhart.
Some people were lucky and they got hugs from Ben and Ali.
