"...jet-powered Segway PTs racing around the rugby field..."
"It looked like there were six jet-powered Segway PTs racing around the rugby field" recalls David Williams, who was at the final All Blacks vs Lions Rugby World Cup match at Eden Park, Auckland in 2005. It was David's event production business that conceived this spectacular pre-match show that pitched three All Blacks PTs against three Lions PTs - with every machine packed with pyrotechnics - choreographed to a live 40-person choir and music that included The Imperial March from Star Wars.
Tonight at Eden Park, watch for an explosive "Segway Surprise" as part of the season-opening Blues vs Crusaders match. Tune in for 7:20pm and again at 9:30pm.....
