Madi mentioned the AIS so we looked up their website and found they conduct tours so off we went and went through a very informative tour of the Australian Institute of Sports. This was so worth every minute seeing the complex and all the sports involved in the training of these athletes.

As we heard on the radio yesterday, the Crusaders from Christchurch were playing their final game of the Super 15 for this season here against the Brumbies in an afternoon game so Wayne got on the net and booked two seats for us to watch the game.
From the AIS, we only had to walk 50 metres to the GIO Stadium to watch the Crusaders beat the Brumbies. Oh. I had a ball watching the men warming up right in front of us as we were only in row C. Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, the legends got a happy send off in their final games for the Crusaders. What a bonus for us to see this game while we where here.
