All Blacks bring World Cup to Jerry Collins' grave to mark his birthday

Carter, Kaino, Nonu, Williams and Messam took a special guest to Porirua.

THE ALL BLACKS touched down as World Champions yesterday, the day Jerry Collins would have turned 35.

Collins was killed in a car crash in France in June, but his former team-mates have made sure to keep his memory alive.

This morning, these five World Champions took the William Webb Ellis Cup to Collins’ grave in Porirua, just north of Wellington.
