It is not every day young players like Tyrhys Werahiko get to show off their rugby skills at an international stadium.
Tyrhys is part of the Rotorua Gold team currently competing at the Tai Mitchell tournament in Rotorua.
The under-13 rugby tournament, first staged in 1938, is being held at Rotorua International Stadium this year.
Hundreds of young boys like Tyrhys have been given the opportunity to run out on to the stadium and play for their home town.
Most of the boys are relishing the opportunity, playing some great rugby and enjoying the occasion.
