KEY POINTS:
Eden Park is expected to be a full house on Saturday as tickets to the All Blacks-versus-England test are running out fast.
Around 39,500 tickets have been sold and organisers are expecting to sell another 5000 to fill Eden Park.
Auckland Rugby Union marketing manager Grant McKenzie says last week's All Black-versus-Ireland test in Wellington had a near-sell-out crowd, but cold weather had led to many fans watching from home.
"We're positive that the weather will be good for this weekend's test. So we're expecting it to be sold out," Mr McKenzie said.
England rugby fans have set up a website looking to turn Eden Park "All White" on Saturday night, encouraging England fans to turn up to the game wearing white.
The website, allwhiteonthenight.com states: "On June 14 we want you to help turn Eden Park white as our boys come down to take on Graham Henry's losing World Cup quarter-finalists."
Meanwhile, the All Blacks have been going back to grassroots rugby by training with local junior teams and teaching new ball-handling skills and drills to youngsters involved in junior Rippa Rugby in the Auckland region.
Yesterday, small groups of All Black players visited rugby clubs including Ponsonby, Eden, Grammar Carlton and Waitakere.
Tonight, coach Graham Henry and a select group of players will attend a charity fundraising dinner for Save the Children - the official All Blacks charity - in the Hyatt Regency Auckland Hotel from 6.30pm.
TV3 current affairs presenter John Campbell will host a question and answer session in which the audience will be able to put issues to Henry and three of his players.
Next Tuesday, the All Blacks will be at Rugby Park in Christchurch for a public training session starting at 12 noon.
