A stranded Lions fan who didn't have any accommodation has been taken in by the family of an All Black. The mum of All Black Rieko Ioane and Blues star Akira found out Lions supporter Alex Edwards was planning to sleep in his caravan in the carpark of the Ponsonby Rugby Club. So she took him in, but little did Edwards know that her two sons were New Zealand rugby royalty, and also lived in the house that he was about to stay in. While a little star-struck, Edwards shared numerous conversations with the rugby stars saying they were down to earth. "I can't imagine [staying with a rugby star] would happen anywhere else or back home."
