We’re coming to town

MEMBERS of the New Zealand RL squad will meet fans and hold an autograph session at Kingsgate Centre in Huddersfield tomorrow.

The Kiwi players will be available across lunchtime for around 45 minutes.

The glittering Albert Baskerville Shield – the trophy up for grabs in the three-match Gillette Fusion series between Great Britain and New Zealand – will also be on hand for supporters to view and photograph using their own cameras and mobile phones.

The first Test, of course, is at the Galpharm on Saturday (6.15).

Australian referee Tony Archer will be in charge of the three-match series.

Great Britain have met New Zealand 106 times, including Test, Tri-Nations and World Cup matches, winning 62, drawing five and losing 39.

In their most recent meeting, Britain suffered their heaviest ever defeat when losing 34-4 in Wellington (November).
