Things were getting a little black and blue tonight in Westmanstown, but it was all good natured as the All Blacks and the Dubs met for a skills challenge.
Fresh on the heels of their new sponsorship with AIG, some of the Dublin footballers and hurlers were mixing it with some of the finest exponents of the oval ball game as the All Blacks brushed up on their skills, if that is possible, this evening in Westmanstown.
Both sides engaged in a skills challenge and considering both sides have shown this year some incredible attacking play and the masters in their respective sports, we’d imagine all onlookers thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
Richie McCaw and co. were up against Dublin stars such as Bernard Brogan, Stephen Cluxton and John McCaffrey as they went through hurling, football and crossbar challenges. We haven’t heard as of yet who won, but no doubt it was a highly competitive affair.

Between meeting young Irish fans and perfecting their golfing skills, the All Blacks are keeping themselves active ahead of their potentially record breaking game on Sunday.
