Naked Rugby Match Interrupted by Dressed Streaker

Posted by Miss Cellania in Sports on June 15, 2009 at 10:13 am


Rugby players aren’t afraid of anything, including playing naked! A match in the nude over the weekend in Dunedin, New Zealand went off without a hitch, except for chilly weather and a streaker!

The nude rugby international, which started as a celebration of New Zealand’s national nude day, was held yesterday as a warm-up – although temperatures were reportedly cold enough to prove embarrassing – to the forthcoming match between the All Blacks and France.

Needless to say, there were plenty of tackles flying about with only one interruption … when a fully-clothed streaker ran on to the pitch.

    Life imitates The Onion:

    I was almost sure this was something taken out of The Onion because of the oddball detail of the clothed streaker. The idea of a naked rugby match is more than a little gross to my own tastes, though.

    This is what I'd expect to hear happeing in New Zealand. The Kiwis are nuts.

    In San Francisco, we call that the Folsom Street Fair.

    Hawt.

    The photographer must have had to sift through a thousand shots before he found one in which none of the ten players' genitals were exposed to the camera.

    I agree with Sofar. It must be very hard for the photographer to get a nice shot without eventually blurring the genitals out.

    This is all perfectly heterosexual.

    And this match is becoming something of a tradition.
