From a bunch of heroes to a bunch of tossers - but only literally.

The All Blacks continued their public charm offensive in Waipu yesterday, when Eden Park heroes Dan Carter, Ma'a Nonu and Tony Woodcock tossed cabers and showed off their more-conventional rugby skills in front of Northland locals.

The visit was part of a series of six roadshows sponsored by MasterCard that involve the All Blacks taking on the public.

Carter, Nonu and Woodcock continued on their winning form from Saturday night, beating the locals by one degree under the Highland caber-toss scoring system.
