It was amazing!
Then he went out onto the field and taught some lucky students some of his rugby skills.
At lunchtime lots of us collected his autograph.
Thanks Timo it was a great day!
Wow Year 1 and Mrs Laburn - how exciting it must have been for your school to host a visit by Mr Timo Tagaloa. We have really enjoyed watch him perform the haka. We don't do the haka in Australia so it is very special for us to be able to see it. In our state not many people follow rugby either. You must be so proud to have such an important competition happening in your country ... and only one day til it all begins! Congratulations. Enjoy the rugby celebrations.
