The players were very excited and humbled to be able to see a Bledisloe Cup match from the inside, experiencing what the players and officials experience as well as being within metres of some of Australia’s and New Zealand’s best athletes.
The kids were given a Wallabies flag and hat to remember the occasion by with one lucky player accidentally given the Wallabies mascot.
Parents and supporters looked on from the stands, excited to see their children in the thick of the action before being joined by the players to watch the match together.
The game was very exciting with the live atmosphere electric.
It was a special night that will be remembered by the future Boars stars for a long time to come.
