Golden Oldies Return to the Source

Wellington is to host next year’s World Golden Oldies Rugby Festival, the first time the event has been held in NZ since it was launched there 28 years ago. The festival is expected to attract approximately 5,000, 35+ competitors and supporters from 18 different countries. “Wellington is the home of NZ rugby and it will give the players and their supporters a really warm welcome,” says Ambassador for the 2006 Festival Andy Leslie. “It’s also a great city to visit … I, for one, am looking forward to being part of next year’s Festival.”
