Kamo Primary School's team didn't make it through to the final of the national Rippa Rugby Championship, but they came away with some lifelong memories, including meeting the All Blacks.
The school's rippa rugby team represented Northland in the national championship in Wellington this week but failed to make it through to the finals, despite some good performances.
The team beat King Country, Canterbury, Taranaki and Wellington and lost to Poverty Bay, Otago and eventual winners Waikato.
However, on Monday evening the team got to meet the All Black stars who will be playing the second Bledisloe Cup test against Australia in Wellington on Saturday.
