3 END OF YEAR TOUR 2016 The 2016 End of Year Tour is certainly the best yet, starting in Chicago with another historic match at Soldier Field as the All Blacks face Ireland for the first time on American soil. In Chicago, you will also get the chance to see Maori All Blacks vs USA Eagles at Toyota Park. Following these matches, the All Blacks head to Rome to take on Italy, play a return match against Ireland in Dublin and then go across the channel to meet France in Paris. Our packages range from the exciting Big Four tour which takes in all destinations that the All Blacks visit (and a few more!) to the 9-night tour of Chicago. Whatever tour suits your needs, you can guarantee an immersive experience that celebrates rugby, people and the local culture of the destination. If you are looking for a shorter stay, there will be weekend packages for each destination which include an official match ticket and accommodation. Secure your place now, as these official packages are guaranteed to sell out!

20 STADIUMS Soldier Field Chicago Stadio Olympico Rome Home to the Chicago Bears, Soldier Field opened in 1924 and has the prestige of being the oldest stadium that is still used by an NFL Team. The All Blacks faced the USA Eagles in front of a sell-out crowd at this famous ground in Soldier Field has also played host to major musical events including concerts by Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Madonna and The Rolling Stones. Situated two and a half miles north of the Vatican City with the river Tiber running alongside it, the 82,000-capacity Olimpico is one of Italy s most revered sporting arenas. The Stadium was built in 1928 and took centre stage in the 1960 Rome Olympics as the opening and closing ceremonies and athletics events were staged there. Currently it is home to the capital s two major football teams - AS Roma and SS Lazio - who share the ground for their home league games in Serie A. As the 80,000 spectators who watched Italy play New Zealand at the San Siro in 2009 showed, Italian rugby has an enthusiastic and very vocal following. ALLBLACKSTOURS.COM /Allblackstours #BeThere 20

21 STADIUMS Stade de France France Aviva Stadium Ireland Built for the 1998 football World Cup, the Stade de France took on a dual purpose almost immediately, first playing host to international rugby in February that year. France welcomed cross-channel rivals England to the Parisian suburb of Saint Denis and won 24-17, with Philippe Bernat-Salles scoring the first try ever at the stadium. That summer the French football team wrote themselves into the history books at the Stade de France by lifting the World Cup for the first time with a 3-0 win over Brazil. The stadium played host to the rugby equivalent nine years later, in October 2007, with South Africa defeating England 15-6 to lift the Webb Ellis Trophy - making it the only stadium to have hosted a World Cup final in both sports. Aviva Stadium, which boasts a 57,100 capacity, sits on the site of Irish rugby s former home Lansdowne Road, which was demolished for rebuilding in The first international rugby fixture to be played at the Aviva Stadium was in November 2010 with Ireland welcoming South Africa for the first of four autumn games. The Irish are passionate about their rugby and create arguably the finest stadium atmosphere in the game. Live rugby at Aviva is a moment to be cherished. With a capacity of 80,000 it is the sixth largest stadium in Europe, just behind Twickenham, and replaced Parc des Princes as the home of French rugby. ALLBLACKSTOURS.COM /Allblackstours #BeThere 21
