Duncan Johnstone, of the Dominion Post, writes about the All Blacks' decision to visit Christchurch on Sunday.
"A group of All Blacks will visit Christchurch tomorrow to hand out tickets to next week's All Blacks test against Fiji, meet residents of some of the hardest-hit parts of the city and personally thank the city's emergency services.
Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith and Adam Thomson will present specially designed jerseys to representatives from Canterbury's emergency services as the All Blacks kick off a week of activity ahead of Friday's test in Dunedin which is a fundraiser for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal.
The players will also hand out tickets - donated by All Blacks sponsors adidas, Air New Zealand and Telecom - to young rippa rugby teams from Burnside and New Brighton Rugby clubs and to earthquake affected Christchurch residents."
