The pair helped the Otago Rugby Union sponsorship co-ordinator, Monique Wright, set the cup up in the winter garden for the public to view.
Both said that it was not part of their usual daily work.
''There was a bit of horticulture involved with the ferns on the table,'' Mr Anderson said.
Ms Wright said the visit to the garden was part of an effort to get the trophy out to the general public, some of whom would not get to see it competed for at the weekend when the All Blacks and Australia play at Forsyth Barr Stadium on Saturday.
The trophy was also to be taken to schools, the Dunedin City Council, Waikouaiti Events Centre and private functions.
The Bledisloe Cup and the Webb Ellis Cup will be on display at the Sports Hall of Fame, Dunedin Railway Station, from 2pm to 4pm today.
