Deaf Aotearoa will be creating a video clip to showcase the different signs for each country attending the Rugby World Cup. We are asking the Deaf Community to be involved, so contact your local Deaf Aotearoa office to be part of this exciting project. This is a great community development project and will be a bit of fun for the community; as well as teaching the rest of NZ what the signs are for the countries taking part in the cup.

Each office is being given two teams, so they can produce a sign for that country.

• Northland: Tonga and Fiji
• Auckland: South Africa and Japan
• Waikato: New Zealand and Namibia
• Bay of Plenty: England and Russia
• Hawkes Bay: France and Samoa
• Manawatu: Australia and Romania
• Wellington: Argentina and USA
• Nelson: Scotland and Italy
• Christchurch: Wales and Canada
• Dunedin and Southland: Ireland and Georgia
