This Saturday Christchurch is hosting its first All Blacks test since August 2010 - it will be an exciting and emotional day for many.
The Irish rugby team, who arrived in Christchurch earlier this week ahead of the second Test against the All Blacks, visited the earthquake-devastated city's red zone by bus.
Ireland scrum coach and former All Blacks and Canterbury prop Greg Feek, who lost a family member on his wife's side in the February 22, 2011 quake, joined the team for the guided visit.
One player stated: "It is humbling to be here. It reinforces what we have seen on TV over the last few months."
There are also many Irish working on construction sites within the red zone who got to stop and chat to their national rugby team.
Good luck to the AB's for Saturday - the game is to be played at the new AMI stadium in Addington.
