Boys and their Balls - Part 48

NZ Nude Blacks vs Spanish Conquistadores

In 2011, the rugby World Cup matches were held in New Zealand.  Each time a match was held in the stadium in the town of Dunedin, New Zealand, the local lads held a naked pre-game match of their own, featuring their team, the Nude Blacks (New Zealand's official team is called the All Blacks).

On Sept. 14, a match was scheduled in Dunedin between England and Argentina.  The naked pre-game match on Sept. 10, between the Nude Blacks and a visiting team, the Conquistadores from Barcelona, Spain, drew a crowd of 1500 and a contingent of international media.

The Nude Blacks always begin the game with a haka, a traditional Maori chant in which the Nude Blacks taunt and insult the other side, led by their team captain, Devon Latoa (center).

Sticking out your tongue is traditional in the haka.

The visiting Spanish team was a women's team, and their response to the haka seems to have been to taunt the Nude Blacks with a red cloth, like a matador with a bull.

And here's the bull that they were taunting.

The Conquistadores try to tackle Devon Latoa as he runs, but he scores a try (the rugby equivalent of a touchdown in football).

The rules that they had agreed on were that every time the Nude Blacks scored, the Conquistadores had to remove an article of clothing.  In other words, it was a game of strip rugby.  If the Conquistadores scored, the Nude Blacks did not have to strip because they were already naked.

The Conquistadores stripped off their shorts to reveal pink under-shorts.  Above, they are tackling the Nude Blacks bull.

Here the Nude Blacks are performing a line-out, which happens when the ball has gone into touch (i.e. out of bounds).  The ball is thrown back in, and each team is allowed to hoist one player in the air, the thrower's team trying to catch the ball, and the other team trying to block it.

After the Nude Blacks scored again, the Conquistadores stripped off their shirts to revel pink T-shirts underneath.  Here two Conquistadores tackle Devon Latoa.

The Nude Blacks huddle.  They are scoring points, but the Conquistadores are much better than expected.  They are scoring a lot of points, too.

Time out for a naked policeman to remove a clothed streaker.

After the Nude Blacks scored again, the Conquistadores removed their pink T-shirts to reveal swimsuit tops underneath.

There was actually one man on the Conquistadores team (the guy at right) along with 6 women.  Evidently he started out with less clothing than the women, because by the end of the match he wasn't wearing very much.

To the shock of the Nude Blacks, the Conquistadores won, 25 to 20.  It was the first time in the nine years that they been playing that the Nude Blacks had lost a game.

A really great post. I really like the fact that the Nude Blacks play before a mixed crowd of men, women, and children. Such a good UNASHAMED attitude, both theirs and that of the audience. Although I am not a rugby fan, I would certainly enjoy seeing this in person. The fact that they sometimes play female teams is wonderful. Great attitudes!

Devon Latoa is quite a hottie.

I definitely wouldn't mind tackling Devon Latoa...

No doubt about it, Devon Latoa is the main attraction in these nude games. Not all the nude guys are created equal, however, as is easily seen. I've never attended one of these nude games in person, but I'm sure it must be quite a sight, all those wiggling penises in full view. Where to look first.

I love the face on the lady ion the center of one picture as she is lunging. You know how much she is enjoying the game. Great sportsmanship. Thanks for showing this.

There don't seem to be any Jewish men in the game.

Looks like maybe there were two guys on the Spanish team — the hot guy in shorts in the last photo. Too bad he didn’t strip naked like his chubby teammate.

@Wanderlust - The guy in shorts may have been with the Spanish team, but he did not play in the match. Commentary on the match said that the Spanish team on the field consisted of 6 women and 1 man.

When we played rugby at school, we weren't allowed to wear underpants under our shorts. In the scrum, hands would be up shorts and on bare buttocks. Once, one of my teammates from the rear of the scrum (I never worked out who) reached through my groin and cupped and fondled my testicles. Happy days.
