Well it's that time of the year again. Time for Rugby! It's weird because we arrived in NZ last year just as the season was beginning and here we are ready for another. This last weekend we went to a preseason game with the local team, the Hurricanes, facing off against last year's champions, the Chiefs. The game was hosted by a NZ brewery, Tui, and played just across from their headquarters... in a farm field.
Check out the action. It's probably the closest we'll come to photographing these guys in action (of course that is until next years game).
Andre Taylor, the starting fullback and last years leading try scorer. He signed our jerseys at the end of last season.
