Yesterday four lucky Room Four students got to play in a ripper rugby tournament in front of the Duchess and Duke, Catherine and William, in Dunedin. Here's their thoughts about the experience....
"Richie McCaw was there and he signed all of our tops!" - Charlotte
"I scored the most tries for Lawrence. It was cool meeting the duchess. I was the captain which meant that I got to shake the royals' hands. The skills and drills were fun too." - Regan
"It was great getting to see the royals up close but it would be better getting to speak to them" - Te Aroha
"We lost the first game, drew the second game and won the last game" - Oakley
