All Blacks Coach Graham Henry had some help with his team selection today – five young supporters were on hand at training in Auckland to give Coach Henry some tips and to promote Save the Children's upcoming event – Team Talk with Graham Henry and members of the All Blacks.

The star-studded charity fundraising event will take place at the Hyatt Regency Auckland on Thursday 12 June, two days before the All Blacks take on England at Eden Park in the second Iveco Series Test.

The event will feature Neil Waka as MC and TV3's John Campbell will lead a question and answer session with Henry and three All Black players. Comedian Mike King will perform, and other stars attending include Paul Holmes, Frank Bunce, Murray Mexted, Rodney Hide, Carly Flynn, Lana Coc-Kroft, Kelly Swanson-Roe, Claire Chitham, Suzy Clarkson, Hilary Timmins, Toni Marsh, Erika Takacs and Sacha McNeil.

Save the Children is a non-political, non-sectarian development agency that delivers immediate and lasting improvements to the lives of children worldwide. Save the Children New Zealand is the Official Charity of the All Blacks, a relationship that began in 2005 as a direct response to the Asian tsunami. Funds raised from this event will be directed to Rewrite the Future, a programme which provides educational opportunities for millions of children in the world affected by armed conflict.
