This outing was a chance for fans to get up close and personal with both teams ahead of the tournament which starts later this week.
The Kiwis and Samoa were welcomed with a haka and Siva Tau by local school children.
Fans were then treated to a skills session with both teams as well as photo opportunities and signatures.
Kiwis star playmaker Shaun Johnson proved he's a hit both on and off the pitch, the 27-year-old was the star attraction at today's session with most of the fans lining up to get his signature as well as a photo.
