Activity 1: Rugby Superstars [4 points]

Jonah Lomu was a rugby superstar. He was the youngest ever All Black, selected at just 19 years of age. He went on to have an amazing career that included 63 caps (international games) and 37 tries. Jonah was Tongan, but spent most of his childhood in Mangere, South Auckland. He started out playing touch rugby and rugby league but changed over to rugby union and quickly made a name for himself. He was very tall, strong and fast.

Richie McCaw is another example of a famous rugby player. He was the captain of the All Blacks between 2004 and 2015. Like Jonah Lomu, he had an outstanding international career in rugby union and had many achievements. In fact he was the most capped All Black captain, most capped test rugby player and World Rugby Player of the Year in 2006, 2009, and 2010. He has been given a Halberg Award and made a member of the Order of New Zealand. As well as being an outstanding player, Richie McCaw was also a strong leader and captain.

For many people, players like Jonah Lomu and Richie McCaw are superheroes with extra special ‘superpowers.’

  1. Talofa lava Anamaria,

    What a fantastic blog post! I liked the superpowers you chose. I can tell you put a lot of thought into each one. If I had to choose one, I'd choose teleportation. Imagine being able to get up in the morning JUST before you needed to be somewhere, and you could teleport there?! How handy :)

    I really enjoy the images you chose for your blog post. Super heroes are the best! Do you have a favourite super hero? Also - it's awesome to see you doing image attribution.

    If you had to chose one super power from this list, what would it be?

  2. Hi Erica, my favourite superhero would be black widow because of her expert martial art skills and she's the only female superhero in the marvel avengers. If I had to pick a super power I'd probably also choose teleportation because if you're late to school you can just teleport there. Thank you for commenting on my blog and hope I reply to more of your comments.

  3. Kia ora Anamaria,

    Thanks for getting back! Black Widow is such an awesome superhero. I've heard she's got her own movie coming out soon. Be sure to watch it! What did you think of Captain Marvel (another female Marvel superhero)? I really enjoyed watching her movie. She was very inspiring :)

    Nga mihi
    Erica
