THE BARMY ARMY NEW ZEALAND TOUR 2002

New Zealand v England Test Series

• 1st Test Christchurch 13th - 17th Mar
• 2nd Test Wellington 21st - 25th Mar
• 3rd Test Auckland 30th Mar - 3rd Apr

Fresh from the heat and dust of India - and after snatching a reasonable Test series defeat from the jaws of complete annihilation, England arrive in NZ aware that the home side came within a couple of dodgy decisions of beating the Aussies-on their patch to boot! But Nasser’s boys came of age on the sub-continent and will be tough opponents in conditions that should suit their strengths. What about the fans I hear you say; well as you can see from the news clipping below, the locals are getting worried about the imminent arrival of the Barmy Army and are making last minute plans to counter the vocal threat. Just as well really, we’re expecting numbers to be in the thousands (many en route from India) and everyone should be in fine voice! This is the first time a home side has gone to these lengths so you can tell they haven’t forgotten the last time we toured! It should be memorable - why not join us as we cheer on Nasser and the boys as they hammer the Kiwis!
