The Kiwis enjoyed a unique day off in London today - seeing all of the major sights on a whistle stop tour.
The New Zealand side piled on board an old style open tour double decker bus, that took them around all of famous landmarks, including the Tower of London,
Big Ben, Whitechapel and Buckingham Palace.
As you would expect, the team attracted a lot of attention; from commuters, office workers having lunch, tourists and the occasional expatriate - invariably yelling "Go the Kiwis".
"It's a great opportunity," said Martin Taupau, who was on his first trip to London. "You hear about all these historic places so to see them up close is something else."
It was the second London visit for back rower Tohu Harris; the last time had been with the Melbourne Storm, where the club sent them out in small groups to find different landmarks. Lewis Brown remembered a similar episode on the 2011 Kiwis tour, where the team competed in their own version of `The Amazing Race' around London.
