Several All Blacks called scarfie flats home but yesterday Dunedin's student quarter was an attraction for some of the current squad - and they brought tea and biscuits.
Otago Polytechnic student Olivia Macaulay, 22, of Oamaru, said she was walking home to her Hyde St flat just before noon yesterday when she saw All Black first five-eighths Beauden Barrett in a group of men walking towards her.
She ran in to her all-female flat and yelled, "The All Blacks are outside!"
Flatmate Sara Hutton, 20, of Alexandra, "got real excited" but Dani Gray, 20, of Levin, was slower to react, having just woken and appeared in her dressing gown. Both women are Otago University students.
All Black prop Joe Moody came to the door and offered to make them all a cup of tea.
