FMG Stadium Waikato will host the ‘most kids ever’ to attend a New Zealand Rugby (NZR) controlled Black Ferns Test when Hamilton Kirikiriroa hosts the Laurie O’Reilly Cup match against Australia this Saturday at 4.35pm.
Fresh off the back of their Pacific Four success, the world champion Black Ferns will run onto the field in Hamilton for the first time since 2013 and would be playing in front of a crowd packed with families.
Ticket sales data showed a record number of children’ tickets had been purchased earlier in the week.
FMG Stadium Waikato and NZR were specifically catering to children and their whānau and would be offering poi and poster making opportunities before kick-off.
There would also be tents set up to ensure parents and guardians with prams had somewhere to safely store transport for their little ones.
