Just five days out from the opening game of the rugby world cup the All Blacks have found some extra inspiration from a quarter of New Zealand they don't often get to see.
With the country waiting in anticipation for Friday night's tournament opener against Tonga in Auckland the All Blacks have been going through their final preparations and official engagements.
As part of their build-up the men in black visited 11 small towns across the country to mingle with fans, and lock Ali Williams says the trips to places such as Te Puke, Carterton and Rangiora, were something the All Blacks will never forget.
