Warning: The video contains nudity some people may find offensive

By Jerram Watts

The Nude Blacks took on the Welsh Leeks in the annual nude rugby international in Dunedin today.

It was a fine day at Logan Park and hundreds of… fans… turned up to watch the Dunedin students take on the visiting Welsh side.

Tackles were hard, but no player soft, as both sides went balls out to claim a victory.

Play was brought to a brief halt when a female streaker ran onto the pitch; the men were good sports and lifted the lass in the lineout before she ran away with the ball to score a try – and then regain her modesty.

The match was an unofficial curtain raiser to the All Blacks test against the Welsh at Carisbrook tonight.

The Nude Blacks edged out the Welsh Leeks with a try in the dying moments of the match.

I'm fine with Nudity -- BUT WHY ARE THEIR 4- 10 yr old KIDS IN THE AUDIENCE -- That's just a little weird. They're too young to understand or get the humor.

Do that in South Australia and every player would have his name on the sex offenders list forever.

I think the New Zealand spectators are very open minded. I can only imagine what response naked men playing rugby or any sport out in public. I'm sure they would be arrested in the U.S.. I have to admit after watching these videos I would probably attend, but I'm sure my wife would not approve. It sure looks like everyone is enjoying themselves. Especially the players. It makes me want to start my own team.

What's wrong with being nude? Seriously...who said it's wrong and why are people listening?!? It's how we are born into this world, so why be ashamed? Especially if you have the body and are comfortable with showing! Being nude has never been a sin, that's just prudish people telling others what to do.
