RUGBY WORLD CUP 2007
Friday 7 September 2007
All Blacks Hotel,
Marseille, FRANCE
adidas yesterday organised an ‘Impossible meeting’ between French Football hero Zinedine Zidane, six members of the All Blacks and 10 local Marseille children who had won the chance to attend.
Dan Carter, Byron Kelleher, Luke McALLISTER, Aaron Mauger, Leon MacDondal and Nick Evans conducted different workshops in a friendly and relaxed manner where the children could learn the essentials with an oval ball.
Under the watchful eye of Mick Byrne, the All Blacks specialist Kicking Coach, the children had the chance to undertake passing and kicking drills before having prime viewing of a friendly competition between two emblematic faces of the worlds of the soccer and rugby: Zinedine Zidane and Dan Carter.
This event allowed the children to attain their "impossible”: an unpublished encounter of which the young participants will remember all their life.
