"Oranges at Halftime is a FREE travelling exhibition about grassroots rugby and the Kiwi spirit....
 
And will be in Te Kuiti this weekend!
Saturday 10th September, Southern End of Rora Street.
 
Exhibition visitors will step into a golden age of grassroots rugby to explore what the game means in New Zealand, in the home, along the sidelines, on the paddock and in the clubrooms.

Take on your friends and family and answer every question in the Halftime Quiz Challenge.

Add your story to Keith Quinn’s famous collection of anecdotes. A video kiosk inside the trailer allows you to share your favourite rugby tales with Keith.

Play selector and vote for the Grassroots XV, a team of quirky, cheeky and heroic characters from the lesser-known corners of Kiwi footy history.
