Thousands welcome All Blacks back to New Zealand

People have packed into Auckland Airport to welcome the All Blacks on their return to New Zealand soil as Rugby World Cup champions.

A massive cheer rung out across the airport following the announcement that flight NZ1 has landed.

Meanwhile, Air New Zealand staff performed a haka on the tarmac after the flight touched down.

They will now make their way to Victoria Park where an event to welcome them home and congratulate their achievement will get under way at noon.

The celebration is expected to wrap up at 2pm.

From Auckland, the team will fly to Christchurch where residents will get to welcome the team with a parade.
