Her favourite provincial rugby team might have failed to get the job done on the field, but Herald on Sunday reader Rachel Oldham-Ormiston still left Eden Park on cloud nine last weekend.
Oldham-Ormiston was the winner of the 'Money Can't Buy' rugby experience competition, which saw the Herald on Sunday team up with Slingshot and Auckland Rugby for a VIP experience at last Sunday's Auckland/Counties Manukau Mitre 10 Cup clash.
The prize included match tickets for six, being able to participate in the pre-match coin toss, access to the Auckland Rugby Members Lounge, a behind the scenes tour of Eden Park and attendance at the official post-match function.
"I did the coin toss and had my photo taken with Simon Hickey," Oldham-Ormiston said.
"It was great because Auckland won the coin toss, even though the game didn't go their way."
