All Blacks visit kids during Rugby World Cup

The atmosphere was electric at Wellington Children's Hospital on Friday, with a special visit from All Blacks playing in the Rugby World Cup.

Conrad Smith, Ali Williams, Brad Thorn, Jimmy Cowan and Owen Franks spent their free time with patients, families and staff at Wellington Children's Hospital.

Children were delighted that their heroes had taken time to meet them in hospital.  Watching Ali Williams duck under doorways and Brad Thorn cuddling babies is a memory that rugby-mad families and hospital staff will cherish forever.
