A call to all New Zealanders: Beards for World Cup Support

The time has come for all New Zealanders to show their support for the All Blacks as they enter the final stages of their World Cup build-up.

Hayman's Beard, the group calling on All Black prop Carl Hayman to grow back his beard, have now made a call for national unity, urging all kiwis to grow beards between now and the World Cup to show their support.
"Whilst our main focus is of course on the return of The Beard of Hayman, we also feel that the time is right to begin a national campaign to support the team as they head towards the World Cup" said a Hayman's Beard spokesperson.

"We are calling on all New Zealanders to abstain from shaving from now until the end of the All Blacks World Cup campaign, which we of course hope will end with victory in the final on October 20th"

With coverage of the campaign beginning to grow, Hayman's Beard is confident the people of New Zealand will get behind their efforts.

"Look at the Red Socks campaign during the Americas Cup. New Zealanders are incredibly passionate about their sporting teams, and we're sure that this will be no different"
"They key is for everyone to cease shaving immediately, so that the country can present a hairy front as a sign of our loyalty and support"

Join the campaign! Post below your intention to Beard Up in support of The All Blacks, and to convince Carl that The Beard must return.
