A UK-based Kiwi is inviting the All Blacks to train at his gym, which he plans to turn into a fan zone for the duration of the Rugby World Cup.
Josh Small, who owns OneSpace Fitness in Malvern, says it would be a "great privilege to see the AB's inthe flesh and watch them at work, especially this far from home".
Mr Small has sent the team an official invitation, along with a bottle of Malvern water - famous for being the Queen's preferred choice.
Originally from Auckland's North Shore and of Maori descent, Josh has lived in Malvern, Worcestershire, for 12 years.
A chef before he studied sports-specific fitness training, he's always been an avid fan of the All Blacks and said they were welcome to join him for a "nutritional boil-up" after trainnig.
He plans to turn his facility into an All Blacks fan zone with all games being shown on the big screen. He's also set up a Facebook campaign and Twitter account, playing on the fact that he's probably the only Maori in his small town and needs all the help he can in backing the ABs.
He and his team want support in their quest to get some or all of the team to their town.
"I know it's a long-shot but as my auntie says, you don't get if you don't ask'," he says.
