Movie star Orlando Bloom may love New Zealand - but he's strictly following supermodel wife Miranda Kerr's passion for the Wallabies.

Kerr is a self-confessed Australian rugby supporter, and Bloom joined her at North Harbour Stadium to watch the Aussies beat Italy.

Wallaby first five Quade Cooper yesterday tweeted his surprise that the famous couple had come to support them.

"Just found out that @MirandaKerr Orlando bloom & there son flynn were at our game yesterday..that's awesome! We are all a bit starstruck"

Fellow Wallaby James O'Connor also took to Twitter to convey his joy over Kerr and Bloom being at the match.

"How GD! Jst heard that @MirandaKerr n Orlando Bloom were at our game last night - Loving the support," he said.

Bloom is in New Zealand for the filming of Sir Peter Jackson's Hobbit movies. He has been a fan of New Zealand since starring in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Last month, Kerr and Bloom - whose first son, Flynn, was born in January - were spotted house-hunting in Wellington, looking at a four-bedroom rental property.

Bloom and Kerr usually divide their time between Los Angeles and London.

On Sunday morning, Kerr made an appearance at the launch of the Great Crusade campervan caravan for Wallabies fans, where she joined Australian rugby legend John Eales in cooking breakfast for supporters.
