French rugby stars meet tamariki who are Deaf and hard of hearing
Tamariki who are Deaf and hard of hearing met players from the French women's Rugby World Cup 2021 team at Eden Park on Wednesday.
The young rugby fans got the chance to toss the ball around with French rugby stars Maëlle Filopon, who is hard of hearing and plays as centre, and lock for the French women's national rugby team Manaé Feleu.
“When we found out Maëlle was hard of hearing, we thought, ‘What a lovely opportunity for her to come and meet some kids and hopefully inspire them to get involved in sports,’” said Maryke Penman, Rugby World Cup communications manager.
