Family travel from Boston to support team

From Morning Report, 6:10 am on 27 July 2023

The USA has been getting plenty of support during this World Cup as the team attempts a three-peat of titles.

They play the Netherlands in Wellington today in what is a repeat of the 2019 World Cup final which the USA won 2-0.

A couple of thousand fans have made the trip here to support their team including the Clarke family from Boston, Mark and Simone and their young daughters Isabelle and Spencer.

While they studied up about New Zealand and rugby, they weren't quite prepared for how cold in was going to be here.

Barry Guy bumped into them on the streets of Wellington as they were on their way to buy some more warm clothing and asked them about their trip.
