ALL BLACKS CLINIC MADRID 2018

In 20018 KiwiHouse brought the All Blacks Clinic to Spain for the first time; the venue was the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria in Madrid.

Anthony Tuitavake and Bull Allen spent a few days with young rugby players and taught them the tricks to be as solid a team as the All Blacks.

The Kiwis were accompanied by a Spanish delegation that demonstrated the high level of rugby in this country.

Those attending the Clinic experienced the New Zealand culture up close and received both sporting and personal lessons that helped them to become better players both on and off the field.
