The New Zealand All-Blacks, on the eve of the 2011 Tri Nations tournament which opens with Australia and South Africa, played their final test match before the series against Fiji in chilly Dunedin. A tradition, quite a disturbing one, especially to the naked eye, is the Nude Blacks pre-test match, this time against the Jijian invitational. We’ll spare you the more troubling pictures from that match, but as you can guess, the Nude Blacks are a bunch of guys and gals running around wearing… nothing.

The match is refereed by a blind woman, so she can’t be swayed or bought by extraordinary… ahemmm… size or width, which of course would be inappropriate.
