All Blacks party with NRL champions, as Penrith Panthers' celebrations continue

The party continues for Penrith Panthers, after their NRL Grand Final triumph, with some high-profile Kiwi fans invited to an after-party this week.

All Blacks Akira Ioane, Rieko Ioane, TJ Perenara, Hoskins Sotutu and current captain Ardie Savea have been spotted celebrating alongside Panthers stars Nathan Cleary and Vilimoni Kikau.

The All Blacks ended their Rugby Championship campaign in defeat against South Africa on Saturday night, before several players attended the NRL showpiece, as Penrith edged South Sydney in an enthralling season finale.

Penrith's leagues' club threw a party for the victorious players on Tuesday night and the guests included a collection of All Blacks.

But Panthers fan Beauden Barrett seems to have missed out on an invitation - or at least escaped the gaze of the camera lens.

The All Blacks squad have a week off, before a training camp on the Sunshine Coast and then their end-of-year northern tour, which begins against the USA on October 24 at Washington DC.
