All Blacks Tours General Manager, David Caldwell, says this year’s end of year supporter tour promises a number of highlights.

“Our 2013 Air New Zealand European Tour starts in the capital of France, Paris. After spending three nights in the City of Light and taking in the match between the All Blacks and France, we’ll travel north to commemorate Armistice Day and visit Tyne Cot Cemetery which contains the graves of more New Zealanders than any other First World War cemetery. We will also visit the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, famous for the evacuation of Allied soldiers during the Second World War.

“In England we’ll be visiting the White Cliffs of Dover, Rugby – the town credited with being the birthplace of rugby, and Liverpool, as well as spending four nights in London where the All Blacks take on England at Twickenham, the largest dedicated rugby union venue in the world.

“The tour then wraps up in Dublin, Ireland with the final All Blacks test of the tour being held at Aviva Stadium, built on the site of the former Lansdowne Road Stadium. Kiwi supporters will enjoy exploring this vibrant and fast-paced city, and sharing a pint with the locals in one of its many pubs.”

All Blacks Tours has a number of other packages currently on sale for other 2013 All Blacks fixtures, including domestic Tests in Auckland, Christchurch, New Plymouth, Wellington and Hamilton, the Bledisloe Cup in Sydney, and Investec Rugby Championship Tests in Argentina and South Africa.
