The couple started at London's Twickenham stadium and cycled to Auckland's Eden Park - 28 countries the pair travelled through in their journey to reach New Zealand.
The couple ditched their London banking jobs to bike to New Zealand for the World Cup to raise money for charity Tag Rugby Trust and uncover the real world of rugby in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The "Earth from Above" exhibition runs from 12 August until 2 October in Christchurch’s Rolleston Avenue as part of the Christchurch Arts Festival.
The large-scale photos by Yann Arthus-Bertrand reflect both the stunning beauty of our planet and the tragedy of humanity’s footprint. The free open-air exhibition has travelled to more than 100 cities and has attracted over 100 million visitors worldwide.
Earth From Above is a project begun in the 1990s with an aim to create a record of the world’s environment - a “state of the earth” report in stunning visual form - for present and future generations.
If you are concerned about your carbon footprint while travelling, we highly recommend touring the city by bicycle with Christchurch Bike Tours.
