MasterCard All Blacks Roadshow back for a third year

The All Blacks probably weren’t expecting coal shoveling to be a part of their training schedule this year, but that’s exactly what some of the 2010 All Black squad will be competing in when they take on the local residents of Reefton at the MasterCard All Blacks Roadshow this Sunday 25th 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 All Blacks and Rugby Legend, Buck Shelford, by competing in rugby challenges including; catching, try-scoring, kicking, passing and lineout skills.

Past Roadshows have seen members of the All Blacks squad and Buck visit 24 of New Zealand’s cities and towns competing against the fans in the rugby challenges. However, in 2010 the Roadshow will visit six New Zealand towns famous in their own right for some rather unique activities.

In Reefton this unique activity is coal shovelling, and on Sunday, July 25, at the Reefton Racecourse, local residents will be showcasing just what it takes to become a champion at coal shovelling when they challenge the All Blacks.
