As a part of the celebrations for New Zealand’s national “Nude Day,” every year two rugby teams battle each other fully nude. This contest is also a precursor to the big match between New Zealand’s All Blacks and France. While the temperatures were not as balmy as the players might have preferred, the players went all out, with plenty of hard hits, tackling and hard-nosed play. There was only one interruption in the game, when a fully-clothed streaker ran across the field to cheers from the crowd.
You got to love a country that has a national Nude Day, no wonder everyone in their 20s goes to New Zealand for a bit…

During the fourth quarter of yesterday’s dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals, Junior Seau received a very unexpected hit. A male fan, presumably inebriated, jumped out of the stands and tackled Seau, bringing him to the ground. This took Seau completely unawares. “It was definitely a shock,” he said. “It was probably one of my most memorable moments in my 19-year career. I thought [at first] it was one of my [teammates] that was enjoying the win. As I was laying on the ground I saw this guy in street clothes. Obviously, it was not one of the players or any of the employees of the Patriots. Therefore, security came over and took care of him. I wish him a Merry Christmas.”
