Rookie sensation Asafo Aumua is adjusting to life as an All Black - especially now that he looks like one off the field too
Wellington's new hooker spent time away from the training field in the UK today to get kitted out in free gear from team sponsor Adidas.

The 20-year-old was given virtually everything the large sports clothing company had to offer - boots, trainers and sunglasses were just a few of the items to come his way during the session.
"Honestly, I'm lost for words right now - I was lost as soon as I walked in and saw everyone," he told ALL BLACKS TV.

Aumua had a standout season in the Mitre 10 Cup for Wellington, scoring long range tries and showing rare speed and power for a front rower, prompting his whirlwind selection for the All Blacks' end-of-year tour in Europe.
Hansen said at the time of selections picking Aumua was straight-forward.
"We need four hookers and he's the obvious up-and-comer," Hansen said.

"He's pretty special so we'll see where he goes."
The All Blacks will name their squad of 23 to face the Barbarians at Twickenham this Sunday at 2:30am NZT later this week.
