“So we cycle up from here in Dunedin up to Auckland in time for the quarter finals,” says Ms Burton. “And then we're just going to sit down there for two weeks and soak up the atmosphere." What a awesome personal effort dedicated to charity and promoting our great rugby game across Europe-Asia!! Lets start a Kiwi rugger fans campaign to get RWC-NZRU to bring a real grassroots touch to the Final by having Jodie and Tom cycle in to Eden Park to the centre and deliver the matchball for the kickoff.

Cmon Kiwi rugger fans - Lets Go for it and Thanks.
