Holy Family’s Danny Rooney meets All-Blacks
Category : Blog
It was a special moment on Friday last as Holy Family pupil Danny Rooney got the opportunity to meet some of the world’s greatest rugby stars. Danny was a guest of Aoibheann’s Pink Tie at an event in Croke Park, where he came face to face with several of the All-Blacks who were scheduled to compete against Ireland that weekend.
Danny was accompanied by his father Damien as they rubbed shoulders with some of the Southern Hemisphere’s finest. They were fortunate enough to meet stars such as Waisake Naholo and scrum-half
Pernenara, who led the haka on Saturday night.
The special day was made all the more special the following evening as Ireland overcame the All-Blacks 16-9 in a thrilling encounter at the Aviva Stadium. It will surely be a moment that Danny will never forget.
