Red, yellow, (All) Black

This morning, we went to the Museum to see their new Rugby exhibition. It was titled 'Red, Yellow, (All) Black - A local look at our national game'. It was all about the history and life of the local Waikato team - the Mooloos. Along with all the memorabillia, photos and history, there was also some cool interactive stuff including:


  • scrum machine - which measured the force that you could exert on it;
  • match the rugby socks to the correct NZ rugby teams;
  • and on a really cool spongy fake grass area there were the following activities:
  • pass the ball through the hoop;
  • kick a goal;
  • sit and reach flexibility test;
  • agility run test;
  • standing jump test.
The kids had great fun playing with the interactive stuff (even with a group of kids from the local Kelly Sports Holiday Care Program - I was impressed with the manners and consideration the big kids displayed towards my kids).
