New Zealand sport's hot new glamour couple Shaun Johnson and Kayla Cullen are following in the footsteps of Richie McCaw and heading to Kaikoura this weekend.
The 26-year-old Kiwis halfback and the 24-year-old Silver Fern will fly by helicopter into the quake-ravaged town for a special sporting afternoon with locals on Saturday.
Residents seeking a reprieve from the earthquake stress are being invited to join the top sporting couple for a family touch tournament and league and netball sessions at Kaikoura Primary School.
There will also be a chance to play alongside Johnson in a touch tournament.
"It is important that the people of Kaikoura have a smile on their faces, we have a whole programme to brighten the folks up," said Rod Duke, managing director of Rebel Sport's parent company.
Duke said the star couple will have a whole lot of sports gear to give away.
