The Georgian rugby team has started their morning with a hearty Kiwi breakfast at Tisbury School, just outside of Invercargill.
Five players have this morning arrived at the school for a meet and greet with the children.
Principal Andrea Joyce said the visit had been confirmed just last Thursday, but excitement had quickly built up.
"Its amazing really that they've taken the opportunity to come and mix with the children," she said.
"Everybody's been really looking forward to it."
The players will also attend a school-wide assembly, where they will be formally welcomed, and would then either work on some ball skills with pupils or take a tour of the school grounds, depending on the weather.
Hail and rain showers passed through the city earlier this morning but the wet weather appears to be easing.
