The classical Greeks would have approved, not of the team sport, but of the attire. The annual Nude Blacks versus Welsh Leeks rugby match was played again on a wintry Dunedin pitch. Now if only the World Cup would be played like this, we wouldn't make a loss on match attendance or TV viewership. It would no doubt truly be a stadium of 4 million for the boys!
Match report here.
Video (no silly pixillation!) on demand here.
Earlier edition reports here.
UPDATE: The Nude Blacks played another match, this time against a Fijian team (in silly lavalavas). 25 minute match video report here. Complete with haka!
UPDATE 2: A mixed match with Spanish ladies is far less successful in my opinion, but you can have a look here yourself.
