Our All Souls Cross

Arose decorated this cross and we have recorded names of some of our loved ones who have passed away. This is so that we can remember and pray for them on the Feast of All Souls and through November.  Thanks Lucy and Jham for your help too

All Black Nehe Milner-Skudder's reply to Jose

Hi Jose,

Thank you for the message of support mate.

Here are the answers to your questions:

It's awesome to be playing with the greats of not only NZ rugby but world rugby. These are guys that aspire to be like , a lot of legends who I used to watch on TV. Its a dream come true to be able to learn off these guys and also take the field and play alongside them. I still pinch myself everyday to make sure it's real.

One of the incredible things about playing rugby is the travelling we do and the cool places we visit. This Is my first time to the UK and I have loved every minute of it so far. I was a bit worried about the weather as I had heard it gets really cold here but luckily it's been really nice and warm. (Hope it stays like this).

I used to look up to a lot of players and I still look up to a lot of players now. I used to enjoy watching Christian Cullen when I was little. He was an awesome player who was really fast and used to score lots of tries. Now I look up to the guys in my team, they are all legends of the game and some of the best players in the world.

Yes I really enjoyed sports when I was younger and still do. I liked to play touch football. The skills I picked up in touch have helped me with the way I play rugby. I also played a bit of rugby league. I think team sports are good because you get to play with your friends which makes it really fun.

I was a little bit surprised with that game as were a lot of people. South Africa are a really good side , but it shows that anything is possible if you really believe in yourself and work really hard. Which is exactly what Japan did.

Hope that answers your awesome questions Jose.

Thanks again for the message and all the support,

Nehe

Jose's Letter

To Nehe Milner-Skudder
Hello my name is Jose, I’m 9 years old and you are my favourite rugby player. I play Winger for school and Halfback for club.

Good work making it into the All Blacks and getting your 2 tries. Also you made a great effort trying to get that try but you just couldn’t make the catch (against Argentina).

I think that you will end up being one of the greats of all rugby.You inspire kids like me and it is good you will get more games before Wiaske comes back to the team.

I have a few questions for you if you don’t mind:
Do you like being with the greats?
Is it cool travelling around?
Who was the player you looked up to?
Have you played any other sports (does not have to be international)?
Are you surprised that Japan beat South Africa?

Thank You for your time

Jose
