WATCH: Airport Staff Give The New Zealand Rugby Team An Amazing Welcome Home From The World Cup

This is pretty class.

This is pretty class.

It’s always been a somewhat secret life goal of ours to become masters of the famous New Zealand haka…

We sh*t you not, and maybe one day we’ll learn it, but in the meantime, we’ve been left sitting in awe thanks to airport workers in New Zealand.

The staff at the airport in Auckland welcomed home their Rugby World Cup winning heroes from the UK this week, and gave them a pretty unbelievable homecoming.

We can’t say we blame them as, despite a shaky start, the All Blacks had a pretty fantastic World Cup campaign that saw them overcome Australia in style in the final to retain the Webb Ellis trophy.

The emotion didn’t end there though as on Saturday, Sonny Bill Williams proved to be a bit of a hero in his own right after he gave his Rugby World Cup winners’ medal to a delighted 14-year-old fan.

What a fine bunch of gentlemen.
